I think the problem with "a" is that 37% formaldehyde is what is considered 100% formalin not 10% nbf. So for all technical purposes I've never known of anyone fixing samples in 100% formalin either But I would agree it depends on what your doing with the sample if it got acetone or not. So i ag

Just make a quick calculation of how much "diluted" is the cost of the reagent and you will realize that re-using the solutions  is not worth it from the monetary point of view, and much less from the quality aspect. Do not reuse them. René J. From: "Berger, Re

The PMA-PTA can be reused, even when the color changes to green. I don't see a problem in using fresh 1% acetic acid with every batch of slides? I just make up a 1l bottle, or mix it quickly when doing the stain. Glacial AA isn't that expensive, and it's no problem to pour down the drain (househ
