What I did many years ago when I was freezing cross sections of rabbit
myocardium, Hazel, was order a bag of corks and have my husband slice them
up on his band saw; worked pretty slick...and yes, he still has all his
fingers!

Hi,

Does anyone know of a company that sells cork discs/board for freezing
small specimens. I used to know of some in the UK but now I've moved out
to California  it's not so easy knowing who to contact.

Many thanks

Hazel Stevens
