Yes, it is embedding, not encasing. That's why you use the longer
processing schedule for larger tissues. Brains and spines typically
require longer processing schedules than other tissues due to the higher
fat levels because of the myelin. For whole mouse and rat brains, so long
as they are pro
We also have embed mouse brains for coronal sections routinely in deep molds,
yes it can be close at times. With rat brains we actually embedded in deep
molds with the Mega cassette upside down so part of the brain went above the
mold and into the cassette. If we needed to go through the whole
