[Histonet] Tendon Processing

[Andrew Prior]

Morning all,

 

I am taking over some work on tendon tissue and would like some advice
regarding processing schedules. The tissue is 3-5mm thick cross sections
from large tendons and is formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded. At the
moment the sections (although flat and wrinkle free) appear cracked,
which I think is due to excess dehydration. I would be very grateful if
people could share their processing schedules so that I have an idea of
where to adjust mine to improve tissue quality.

 

Many Thanks.
