How to mount rat brain slices on a slide (vibratome sections)?

08 December 2016 1 2K Report

Dear All,

We are using Lecia VT1200s vibratome for 4% PFA perused rat brain sections (40 microns). But we are having trouble while mount it on a glass slide precoated with egg albumin. Can some one suggest good alternative for mounting the brain sections. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot. But can you share the procedure you do at your lab
