Davidson’s Fixative 740 mL 37% Formaldehyde 1110 mL= Absolute Alcohol 40 mL Glacial Acetic Acid 1110 mL Tap Water I have used this recipe for some time and it works re= ally well. Maybe this would satisfy your pathologist? YOu can p= ut the specimen fresh into this and fix overnight, then process routinely.&= nbsp; The sections turn out great!!

Now one of our pathologists (New joiner) wants to fix Ocular in 10%NBF. I would lick to know how are doing others, and is there any comparison between 10%NBF verses Alcoholic fixative for Ocular (Eye).
