Embedding Bones for Frozen Section:
- Fill an ice bucket with dry ice pellets and place a 500ml beaker in the middle.
- Put approximately 200ml of 2-MethylButane in the beaker and cover the bucket. (The MethylButane will get extremely cold, allowing you to ‘flash freeze’ your samples).
- Label your molds and fill the molds with Frozen Embedding Medium (Thermo Shandon, Pittsburgh, PA).
- Immerse bone in embedding medium and adjust right position as needed.
- Test 2-MethylButane with dry ice pellets, if it does not boil, it is ready.
- Use a forceps to keep the embedding mold horizontaly for few seconds until the embedding medium is frozen in pre-cold Methybutane and allow it to sit to the bottom of the beaker for at least 2 minutes to ensure it is frozen all the way through.
- Frozen samples can be placed on dry ice in the bucket until all samples are done. Wrap your samples in aluminiumfoil.
- Place in a sealed container and store your samples at -20�C or -80�C.

Staining Procedure:
- Preheat to 37°C 2 Coplin jars with 50ml of Buffer I Solution each.
- Take one Coplin jar and add 0.5 ml of Buffer II Solution, add slides and incubate at 37°C for 45 minus.
- A few min before the time is up, mix 1 ml of Buffer III Solution and 1 ml of Buffer IV solution for 30 sec and let it sit for 2 min.
- Add this mixed solution to the other Coplin jar of 50 ml Buffer I Solution, mix and add the slides without rinsing.
- Incubate at room temp ~5 min.
- Rinse, counterstain with hematoxylin for 40 sec and put slides in 0.05% Ammonia water.
- Dehydrate through alcohol, clear in xylene and mount.
