Both Leica and Statlab (probably many labs) sell fume monitor badges for

Don¹t know if this matters, but we have found that the trichrome stain
fades on tissues that are not cut fresh.
We use uterus as a control but they must be cut fresh, no batching this
one.
The trichrome is not as brilliant on pre-cut tissues.
Just my 2 cents :)
