Hey everybody!

Today I tried to do a fluorescent staining on cryosectionned tissue embedded in agar. I didn't see a problem in the presence of the agar untill I analyzed the slides under the microscope... The agar had absorbed my fluorescent dy!!

Does anyone know who to remove the agar where the tissue is embedded in to make it possible to do cryosections? I tried with 37°C PBS to 'melt' it and rinse it away but kept sticking on the slide..

Any advice?

Thanks alot for your help!
