[Histonet] OCT embedding of NBF-fixed specimen

[Kim Merriam]

Hello all,
   
  I need to do some OCT embedding of tissues that are already fixed in formalin.  What is the best way to do this?  Should I rinse the tissues in water to get out the formalin?  How can I prevent crystal artifact on these tissues?
   
  Any advice would be helpful,
   
  Thanks,
  Kim
