[Histonet] Removing tissues from OCT for molecular analysis

[Tony Henwood]

Katie,

Rinse the frozen OCT surrounded tissue in Hanks or similar cell culture
fluid. Two to three times should be enough to remove the OCT

Hello,

Can someone suggest a means of removing tissues from OCT for  
subsequent molecular analysis?  I did not find anything in the  
archives describing this exactly.

Thanks,

Katie
