I have found that to get good cryosections of spleen, increasing the
temperature to around -14 instead of the usual -18 to -20 makes
sectioning a lot easier and stops the cracking/debri you have
encountered. This is also a good tip for lymphnode. As for cutting
paraffin sections of spleen. We process hundreds of mouse spleens on
occasions and have found that very short processing schedules 6
hours in total help. For really problem spleens just pop the paraffin
block onto water at room temp for 5minutes and you will get beautiful
smooth thin sections with no problems.
