[Histonet] cryostat sections of undecalcified tissue implants

[Elizabeth Chlipala]

Hello all
 
Is it possible to section undecalcified cryostat sections from implants
(no plastic) from a rat subcutaneous implant animal model.  The implants
will have possibly new bone and cartilage, not very dense bone, but some
bone.  Would I need to use a tape transfer system or could I use a
tungsten knife and be o.k.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance
 
Liz
