[Histonet] Paraffin processing explant cultures

[Johnson, Teri]

Liz is a genius.  I called Millipore and their customer service guy,
Rich, told me I could paraffin process and section these with no
problems.  Why didn't *I* think of doing this?  Sheesh...

I have processed explant cultures with the Millipore MillicellT CM which
is a polytetrafluoroethylene based polymer.  I process these as any
other tissue.  Millipore has a great web page in which you can ask
questions.  I would give them a call about the particular filter that
you are using.

Is anybody doing paraffin processing on explant cultures and can give me
some tips on increasing my chances for success?  The culture plate
inserts are Millicell polycarbonate and my question is whether they can
survive tissue processing and paraffin sectioning.  If not, what are
your recommendations for doing these?
 
Thanks in advance!
