We process mouse joints all of time and use vacuum/pressure during the
processing cycle.  The cycle we use is long approximately 14 + hours.

Subject: [Histonet] Bone processing

New to research, just received the "Animal Processing Manual".  I'm
about to process mouse joints and I noticed a much longer time
especially in the infiltration paraffins.
 
Along these lines I also noticed processing for mouse/rat tissue calls
for only RT processing and no vacuum/pressure..
 
I have a clinical background so some or allot of this is a "tad" new.
Anyone up to explaining the big picture difference between human tissue
verses animal tissue processing.
 
Steve
