What kind of microtome are you using?   Soft things need to be cut with a Vibratome.  How thin does it need to be?

Subject: [Histonet] Agarose blocks

I just received tissue in agarose and I tried cutting a couple of them with very little luck.  I have never worked with this before.  Is there a trick to sectioning it?  Should it have been processed differently?  I didn't know what was in the block until I embedded it.

Thank you for any help.
