storage of frozen tissue
From: | Renee Thacker <RThacker@ciit.org> |
I am having trouble sectioning frozen tissue that has previously been
sectioned. The tissue will section wonderfully the first time then
when resectioned weeks/months later the sections rip, separate from
the embedding media, and sections in general just look awful.
So I was wondering how people are storing frozen tissue that is
sectioned and then will need to be sectioned at a later date stored
(liquid nitrogen, -80 freezer wrapped in foil, etc.?). Generally I'm
working with fresh frozen unfixed tissue but some fixed tissue as
well.
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated!
