Hi HistoLand,

I have a question regarding frozen specimen handling. I have a group that gave  
me hearts, brown fat and white fat and there are some issues with the 
morphology of the tissue and also the cutting quality. Unfortunately I was part 
of the whole process from tissue harvesting to cutting and staining of 
specimens. We placed harvested tissue in a cryo mold with OCT and snap froze 
the block in LN2 and then placed on dry ice. I know sometimes the quick freeze 
can cause some effects but was wondering how others are addressing the freezing 
of tissue, especially fat. We have frozen fat this way before and did not have 
the same issues. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks!!!

Kind Regards!

John Shelley
