[Histonet] How do you section PPFE tissue in embedding rings?

[Preiszner, Johanna]

Hi,

I received a lot of specimens embedded in plastic embedding rings...have a Leica RM2135 microtome.

How can I put these blocks in the clamps of the microtome?

Searched Internet with zero success.

Nobody in town ever used embedding rings so I can not borrrow an adapter if that's what I need.

Could anybody please help out?

Re-embedding the tissue in regular cassettes would cost the client a lot of money.


Thanks,

Johanna Preiszner
