You can try post-fixing in Bouins but if already fixed I think try 24 hours
in decal. fluid and then continue as normal.

It is already fixed in formalin so would you suggest I just post-mordant
before it goes on the processor?

Try fixing in Bouins fixative. It tends to help with the sectioning, or if
all else fails a short time in decal. fluid.

Hi all!

Can anyone give me some helpful suggestions for sectioning cow ears?
Frankly, they cut like leather!

Thanks!
