It's nice to hear that what I have been using for over a year is something someone else found useful for themselves. Do you warm the array block holder like I do? Or is it a different technique? My website has pixs to show what the warmer I developed looks like. It is the same one in the article I had published in the Journal of Histotechnology June 2003.

My article came out a few months ago in The Journal of Histotechnology (June 2003) explaining how much better array blocks are to punch once the block is warmed slightly. Anyone out there using it besides me? I have been using this technique for almost two years now and I wont do an array with out the block warmer.
