Does anyone have any experience with storing formalin fixed breast tissue in 70% before processing? I am trying to comply with the new guidelines set forth by CAP and ASCO with regard to Her2 and ER/PR and since my lab does not operate on the weekend we have been well above the 48 hour recommended formalin fixation time. Does 70% affect antigenicity for either Her2 or ER/PR? Any information or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
