[Histonet] OCT embedded frozen tissue for paraffin embedding

[Sherwood, Margaret]

One of our investigators wants to take his frozen tissue (embedded in OCT) and
now fix in formalin for paraffin embedding.  I assume he needs to wash out the
OCT (?phosphate buffer that formalin is prepared in) and then fix in 10%
formalin.

I would appreciate feedback from the listers.

Thanks!
