Kathleen,

I would suggest you contact one of the Veterinary Schools for assistance.  I remember that we had some when I was at LSU Vet School, but not much else.
Also try one of the Marine Biology programs down in Florida, they may be able to help.

Hello, 

I have to cut FFPE blocks of whale skin for in IHC study. I am having difficulty with both cutting and floating. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

How did you manage to deal with the about 0.5 m of blubber?Was it the skin of a new born whale? I just to not understand, but you have to completely eliminate all the fat and increase your processing protocol (infiltration specially) to have some chance of getting any relatively "decent" section.Ren?
