Hi
I am using gelatin embedding to perform cryosections of E10.5-E11.5 mouse
embryos and then I will use the sections for Immuno fluorescence protocols.
However I notice some people include their samples only on tissue teck is there
any difference can I use tissue teck to avoid the steps of gelatin/sucrose mouse
embedding?
Thanks
