<x-tab> </x-tab>In the
past and mostly for undergraduate teaching, I've prepared composite
blocks of various tissues. You know the sort of thing, pieces of kidney,
liver, muscle, gut, lung and brain sandwiched together and stained using
a variety of techniques. Works well, although trichromes can be a bit of
a bugger when differentiating. For teaching very handy as the students
can move from tissue to tissue without changing slide when comparing the
structures.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Now, my
latest problem and hopefully easily solved. Has anyone tried this sort of
thing for IHC. I have 9 pieces of tissue from a very large number of
animals which if I can prepare composites blocks off would make my life a
lot easier. Does IHC throw up any cheeky wee problems which I've not
thought about, eg. tissue dependent retrieval, or is it pretty straight
forward.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab> Comments
very welcome, sorry I can't be cloned, grow extra hands or work double,
triple shifts.<br>
