[Histonet] Removing OCT???

I am new to staining tissues and I recently froze a bunch of tissues in
OCT.  However, I recently found out that it would be better to have some
sample fixed in formalin as well so you can use mutliple staining methods.
 Is there a way to remove OCT from tissue samples without damaging the
tissue, or is the tissue forever stuck in tissue tek once you freeze it back?

Thanks!
Cathy
