Webinar: HISTOLOGY HACKS FOR CRYOSECTIONING
Webinar Abstract:
Histology laboratorians in the research world move fast, but those who perform cryosectioning know that these particular tissues require lighting speed and precision. Cryosectioning is the artform of sectioning flash-frozen tissue, which after staining, aids visualization of fine details in cells. Research environments require flexibility and adaptability for sectioning diverse tissues and materials. Cryosectioning is often the preferred methodology, providing superior antigenicity and more accurate detection of antigens in downstream applications. Automation has changed the game in cryosectioning, offering reproducibility and high-quality sectioning over manual methods. In this webinar, Dr. Marla Rivera-Oliver will share some “Histology Hacks” to properly prepare tissue, an essential but often overlooked element of cryosectioning, and guide practitioners to achieve better cryosectioning outcomes in the research environment.

Learning Objectives
Identify three ways automation improves cryosectioning techniques
Demonstrate three essential elements to obtaining reproducible, high-quality sections with cryosectioning
Identify two “Histology Hacks” that can improve cryosectioning
