[Histonet] hints for cutting fatty FS

[Eileen Akemi Allison]

A while back on histonet a few people gave some tricks to cutting fatty tissue on histonet.  Someone mentioned using 50% alcohol I believe.  We had some extremely fatty LN’s yesterday.  The pathologist cut away most of the fat, but the tech still had a hard time, so I got called in to help the tech.  I was able to get sufficient sections, but they weren’t optimal.  Could any of you share your secrets please. 

Thank you,
