You can lose the neurosphere pellet quickly during the transfer of the pellet from the tube to the cryostat chuck. With a Pasteur pipette or an 1000 μl Eppendorf pipettor (using the blue tips) pre-load a small amount of O.C.T. into the tip and then withdraw the neurosphere pellet into the tip, continuous with the pre-loaded O.C.T. Try not to induce any air bubbles into the O.C.T.
