Some of our samples are from preserved specimen.
We have a significant number of students that work/live on farms as well so
from time to time we get a chick embryo that did not survive.
Also, we have researched and would like to try some plant/seed histology
processes.
If alcohol will produce similar results without excessive dehydration that
would be a great option for this setting.
Thanks for the input

I agree that alcohol is also less toxic. What type of tissue are you fixing?

What are you going to accomplish? Alcohol will work as a fixative and
dehydration solution. Less of a disposal issue.

Hello,
I am considering the following fixatives for a high school histology
experiment and I would appreciate any input considering safety, disposal, etc.
1- Ultrum II (American MasterTech): promotes disposal in local sewer?
2- Excell Plus (American MasterTech): low-hazard but any idea on
disposal from those who use it?
3- Histochoice Tissue Fixative
Anyone using these products/ advice is greatly appreciated!
