We used to embed our lung blocks in Gelatin prior to freezing in OCT to
help hold the lung together when frozen sectioned

Rinse out the formalin

10% Gelatin till the block of tissue sinks

20% Gelatin overnight

Change to fresh 20% and set in a fridge to set the gelatin

Trim off the excess gelatin

Adhere to cryostat block with OCT and cut

Hope this helps
