Re: em question

From:Geoff McAuliffe

    I have had mold growing in older cacodylate buffer kept in the cold, but it takes awhile. The sucrose gives the mold something extra to eat. The only 'solution' I know of it to process the tissue
prompty. In the meantime, put the tissue in a clean cassett in fresh buffer.
