[Histonet] RE: Looking for an article

[Keyser Gerald T]

I can't find it without a paywall either. I find the idea of honey as a 
formalin substitute fascinating.

Subject: [Histonet] Looking for an article

Hi all,



I need some help in locating an article for class, preferably one I don't have 
to pay for.  The name of the article is The Effectiveness of Honey as a 
Substitute for Formalin in the Histological Fixation of Tissue.



The only place I found this article so far charges $48 dollars for 24 hour 
access and I need to read it and write a summary for my class so I need longer 
than 1 day.



Thank you for any help



Fawn

This article about using honey as a fixative
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3768083/
contends that you can use honey, jaggery sugar (look that up in Wikipedia),
or sugar syrup as a fixative.

What you're doing with honey is creating a transport medium - like the
chemically more sophisticated Streck medium and others promoted to us a
few years ago - that preserves the tissue until it can fix in alcohol in
the processor.
