Hi,
Can any one help me. I worked on a project last year using 10%NBF fixed
tissue with Tunel on rat. This year I am using Bouin fixed tissue (old
blocks), and have a few problems.
1. Tissue will not stay on with microwave retrieval
(100% power 750 watt, 90C , bring to temp, cancel, leave for 5 minutes,
bring up to 90C , cancel and stand for 5 minutes.) This worked last year on
the  10% NBF fixed tissue.
I do have better success with tissue staying on with 70% power at 55C, but
Tunel not working.

2. Have managed to get the method to work on a control NBF fixed tissue but
not on the Bouins fixed tissue running long side.
Thanks in advance
Ann
