[Histonet] What product used for orientating tissue prior to embedding?

[Rene J Buesa]

As an alternative I have used melted agar. Works very well and is cheaper.

  The product you are looking for is called Histogel. We purchase it from Richard Allan, catalog #HG-4000. We use a warm water bath to melt it.

Does anyone know what material or product is used to orientate tissues (skin and such) prior to processing? It's like a gel or something and it can be embedded with the tissues and it cuts nicely. Does anyone know what that stuff is? I think I have seen it in a pink color or probably blue...

Thanks all,
Thom
