[Histonet] mouse heart morphology

[Instrumedics]

David,
If you freeze the heart on the Gentle Jane device and if you use the 
CryoJane Tape-Transfer process to prepare your frozen sections you can 
produce paraffin-quality frozen sections.

Please visit our web site www.instrumedics.com to see the details. Click on 
the "gallery" to see many photomicrographs of CryoJane prepared frozen 
sections.

You can request a CD which has a full demonstration of the tape-transfer 
process from snap-freezing the tissue on the Gentle Jane to fixation of the 
section
We welcome any questions you may have.

Subject: [Histonet] mouse heart morphology


Hello,

I am embedding longitudinal sectioned mice heart in OTC and need to have 
better morphology to be able to clearly see both left and right ventricles. 
This lab has tried dentamold but I found it very difficult to section.  Does 
anyone have any suggestions how I can make the morphology of frozen tissue 
comparable to paraffin embedded tissue?
Thanks
