As a pathologist I have some preferences on how certain tissues are oriented on
a slide and work with my histotechs so they can learn my prefs. I also like my
slides in certain orientation in the slide tray. EG, for orientation of skin, I
like the the dermis at the top when I am looking at the
I will 2nd this.
When I did neuropathology at a major institution, we froze all frozen sections
in an isopentane slurry cooled with LN2. We waited for the OCT to warm to
cryostate temps before cutting. If there was time pressure from the surgeons, I
used my thumb to warm more quickly, until
We verify these on control tissues yearly and keep a record whether or not
there is an expiration date. I see no reason to throw away good material and
waste yet more medical dollars.

Ack! You beat me to it ;-) We use pipe nails which come from a local pipe
store and are very inexpensive. They work well for prostate and other core
biopsies.
