Warm slicing

Hi 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.

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?)

For me it was death city when I tried it on 30 day old animals.
