I found a stainless steel pan measuring about 14" long, 9" wide and 5" deep and
filled it with DH2O. I got it out of the freezer when I arrived at work and by
the time I was ready to face, there was a bit of melt on top of the ice block
that was just right. Adding a bit more DH20 at the end of

How do others divide up the work in the department? Do you have techs on like
a weekly schedule to cut , immunos, do gross, log specimens in, change
machines? Just wondering how others did it. Thanks

We are a small lab and we each use a cold plate from the embedding station.
Our microtomes sit on either side of the embedding station and each side has a
cold plate.

I have an old cold plate from an old embedding center that one of my techs
uses. I do wish someone would make a reasonably sized/priced one for individual
use.

Hi Tim,
We had looked at one time, for a smaller cold plate to be used at the microtome
during sectioning and could not find anything suitable. We were told that they
would be very expensive and the one example I found was just that. It would
eliminate the water and mess of the melting ice if
I had an employer years ago who used this. The disadvantage that bothered me
the most was the paraffin shavings flying around due to lack of moisture. It
created a very "dirty" environment, and there were frequent floaters due to the
difficulty in keeping the microtome blade clean. I wouldn't re
We have a brain fixing with phenol formalin, any suggestions on anything
special we need to do with the tissue before processing?

Hi Nicole,
There are various ways to fix bone. My lab generally fixes mouse hind limbs
with 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin for 3 day with or without perfusion. The key
to fixation is proper grossing and long enough time for fixative to penetrate
tissue.
Please feel free to contact me with any o

Our lab recently got a new cryostat (a cryostar NX50). It sees light to
moderate usage (3 - 20 hours a week) and has been operational for about 3
weeks. It has had a host of problems since we received it (shipped with a
busted motor and the sensor in the window did not detect

You can very easily fix the bone in 10% NBF and then go into your
decalcification process. Remember that fixation rate of bone is generally
around 1mm per 24 hours (in all directions) and that it is good to have a
minimum of 20:1 ratio of solutions to specimen size for each step. I would

Our lab needs to paraffin embed and cut bone. Is there a special
process for fixation of bone, or can it be harvested and dropped right
into NBF?
