[Histonet] Re: Sucrose Sectioning

[RCHIOVETTI <@t> aol.com]

Here's a suggestion from Andi Grantham, University of Arizona Health Sciences 
Center:

*********************************************************************
Sometimes before sectioning something that has been infiltrated with sucrose 
I
pop it into OCT and allow it to sit there for a while to let the OCT try to
replace some of the sucrose. Then turn the specimen holder down real low to
cut. Sometimes this works, sometimes not.
