mouse embryos - frozen sections

From:frank quin <fquin@hotmail.com>

Anybody have any tips on sectioning whole mouse embryos?  I'm embedding them 
in OCT at -20 C and they are sectioning OK, but the sections don't stay 
together. They split and do not remain contiguous.  This isn't a knife nick 
problem, but probably results from the different densities of the various 
organs.
Could someone send me info on the tape transfer system?
