Dr Mooney,
If you do not have a tissue processing problem and everyone else is or has
cut well without Histofreeze, perhaps you should speak to the person about
her training.  We all carried some ideas, that may be habit not good
technique from our training as so much is OJT  and experience.  If the
person was only taught to cut that way the sectioning may not feel right to
the person unless it is frozen.  This will crack blocks and can cause
artifacts in the sections.  Pam Marcum
