Warm slicingHi Guys,
I thought I would post the result of a little experiment I tried today. After reading: http://www.precisionary.com/products_faq.html#q9 I tried making some cortical slices (250um thick) in a cutting chamber heated with a 35 degree water bath (in sucrose aCSF) from 20 day old tissue. While the brain was so much more fluid than at 4 degrees, but the cells were wonderfully visible and healthy looking. Just a suggestion that I thought someone might be interested in. _______________________________________________ Neur-sci mailing list Neur-sci@... http://www.bio.net/biomail/listinfo/neur-sci |

Hi Bill, I though already about cutting with a warm bath... but I did not want to risk... on the other hand P20 are quite easy to get, what about older animals? (ie. 1/2 months?) _______________________________________________ Neur-sci mailing list Neur-sci@... http://www.bio.net/biomail/listinfo/neur-sci |

Re: Warm slicingFor me it was death city when I tried it on 30 day old animals.
