In this study, we examined if vacuum drying can be an effective way to remove water fromsub-stantia compacta, conducted in order to preserve bones for possible future transplantation. Wefound a number of interesting results. First, it seemed that vacuum drying removed the most ofthe water fromsubstantia compacta. Second, we observed that vacuum drying did not damagethe histological structure of the samples. These results indicate that vacuum drying might be usedto remove water from compact bone, but more studies are required in order to assess how thismethod affectssubstantia compactaand also substantiaspongiosa
