[Histonet] Mohs technical error

[Alan Bright]

Dear Tina,

Is the skin sample pre-frozen prior to adding onto the embedding medium?
In which case if the sample is too cold this could happen, and it would
be better to place it into the embedding medium slightly earlier.

Also if the freezing method is too fast this and cracking could occur.

Best Regards

Alan Bright

Hello!  I was in desperate need on some advice of frozen (skin) samples
chipping out before complete section is obtained.

Thank you,
