[Histonet] cutting rat pancreas

[KAELPERS <@t> aol.com]

Pancreas tissue is always a problem...we have tried cutting larger sections, 
blocking them with other tissue, and they always seem to be a lot drier.  We 
just block them with intestines and let them soak on ice water to soften.  Also 
you can soak them in a glycerin solution this tends to soften the tissue for 
good sectioning.....our techs swear by it.
