Is it possible to homogenize tissue which has been frozen in liquid nitrogen?

It is possible to homogenize tissue that was frozen in liquid nitrogen. Immerse the frozen tissue in cold buffer and allow it to thaw, then treat it as you would any other sample. If the tissue was dried before it was frozen, you can pulverize the tissue by running the tissue with beads only (no buffer), then adding the cold buffer and running again to complete the homogenization. You cannot homogenize “wet” tissue while it is still frozen, as it will effectively be a block of ice and homogenization efficiency will be very poor.
