[Histonet] Cryostat validation

[Terri Braud]

Tony - We were on the same page.  We purchased fresh beef liver, sectioned and froze it, cut and stained duplicate blocks and had the pathologist sign off on the process.  We were also able to get some tonsils delivered fresh and did them, too.  Terri

Hi Greg,

I would just grab some kidneys from the butcher, freeze and section as usual. They should give equivalent results to the older unit.
