I really think that this question should be asked to whomever sent you the blocks. In Histonet would be only a guess. René J.

They were hand processed, and while sectioning we noticed an unusual chemical smell. I wondered if anyone could tell me what types of reagents are most often used for in Kenya for processing. Is ethanol, isopropanol, xylene, etc. used or even available in Kenya, or what other types of reagents may be used in place of ethanol, xylene, etc. Thank you, Carrie L.
