Processing multiple specimens and performing serial cuts can result in high section numbers. Nevertheless, reproducibility can't be compromised. Permanent attention to detail and many hours in front of the cryostat can be exhausting for the user.

In this webinar, John Stock will provide a comprehensive guide on achieving better cryosectioning outcomes. He will cover the installation and setup of the instrument, sample tissue preparation, freezing of the tissue and how to get better tissue sections.

Learning Objectives

By attending the webinar, you will learn more about:

  • Key factors for instrument installation and set-up
  • Tissue preparation and sectioning to produce high quality cryosections
  • Freezing of the tissue
