[Histonet] Histobath, freezing fresh tissue

[Laurie Colbert]

I am looking for a replacement for our Histobath, which just died.
Thermo Fisher no longer carries this item and has no substitute.  The
Histobath is a small piece of electrical equipment that utilizes
methylbutane to quickly freeze fresh tissue.  We used to use liquid
nitrogen but found this was much easier.  Can anyone tell me where I can
find a similar piece of equipment, or what your method is for freezing
tissue.

 

Thanks,
