AW: [Histonet] ground meat samples

[Gudrun Lang]

I think producing a "cytoblock" with histogel or similar could help. 
You can also take citratplasma and coagulate it to a small block with the
meat-pieces inside.

Betreff: [Histonet] ground meat samples

We will be doing IHC on ground pork and would like tips on how to process
and embed the samples.  Can you leave the processed sample in a paper biopsy
bag and embed both the meat and the paper?  Will cutting the paper make the
blade dull to quickly?  Is there anything else we can use to hold the tissue
together?  We had thought to maybe use pig intestine and pack the meat into
it to make it cut better.
Thank you in advance for your help.  Histonet has helped me out many times
and I greatly appreciate it.
