Fwd: [Histonet] alternates to OCT embedding media

[Atoska S. Gentry]

Hello, I'm currently using Tissue Freezing Medium (TFM), TBS. Itt is 
manufactured by Triangle Biomedical sciences and can be purchased through 
either Fisher Scientific or VWR. The VWR catalog number is 15148-031. It 
works fine for me. Best wishes. Atoska
