Dear Margaret,  I have a product that will almost immediately end your 
problems with the small mouse embryos and will also work perfectly for all 
other specimens.  Please give me a call and I will send yopu some free 
samples.  Pricing will be much less than Histoscreen Cassetes and less 
hassle than the bags. 800-331-2716 x111

Thanks, Dan Diaz
