[Histonet] Practice tissue?

[Anne Murvosh]

Contact your local labs and Hospitals, you could just use some already
embedded and cut tissue that is about to be disposed of as long as there
is no patient info on the blocks it shouldn't be a problem.  Anne

Subject: [Histonet] Practice tissue?

Hello histonet, I was a member a number of years ago, but had gotten out
of doing much histology (I was never a pro) for awhile.... but I seem to
be back at it. 
I was wondering if people might have some ideas on a good "practice
tissue", one that I could embed, section, and stain (H&E) to both
practice my sectioning, and check my staining protocol, etc. I really
need to be sectioning some decalcified teeth, and have had some luck,
but I would really like to do some more practice on an "easy to section
tissue" (other than just a blank block of paraffin)  that I can also
test my staining on.  I have accesses to a tissue processor. Is there
anything I can just pick up at the grocery store? Thanks, David
