[Histonet] Sectioning of gut content

[Alblas, Mandi <aa2 <@t> sun.ac.za>]

Hi all!
I am trying to section ingesta containing sand, but battle to get a
decent cut.  Is there any advice on how to get the sand in such way to
be able to cut it with a normal disposable blade? There were a
suggestion that I should try with a tungsten blade, but I could not get
a supplier yet to provide one.  Any suggestions? (PS we can not
remove/wash out the sand, its needed for analysis).

Thanks
