[Histonet] How To Store Fresh Frozen Tissue Over a Weekend

[Christie Saunders]

Hello,

I may have a silly question, but I truly do not know the answer to this question. I work in a MOHs lab and need to know if there's a particular way to store unprocessed tissue in a fridge or freezer in some way (without using a cryo-freezer). Can saline solution or PBS work and then process that tissue on a Monday if they were collected on a Friday? Please help.

Thanks,
