Hi All, I am looking for a tissue fixative to preserve gross specimens for a veterinary pathology teaching lab (eg. no histo, only gross specimens). I have used Jore's in the past, and Klotz has been recommended, but the chloral hydrate is a problem child due to its status as a controlled substance (eg disposal is a hassle).
Does anyone have any thoughts about just leaving the chloral hydrate out? Or, an alternative fixative that doesn't have the chloral hydrate? I have access to a refrigerator for samples, and would *hopefully* keep the specimens for a year or two. Thanks a bunch, M -- Molly Murphy DVM, Ph.D Assistant Professor of Veterinary Pathology College of Natural Sciences & Mathematics University of Alaska Fairbanks Office: (907) 474-1990 Fax: (907) 474-1932 _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
