I am using Fix-All from Surgipath for bone marrow fixation. I empty the
syringe into the fixative as soon as it is handed to me (no messing around with
clots). I fix for 1-2 hours in Fix-All then transfer to a screen cassette and
our normal processing with 10%NBF. The pathologist is very

Good afternoon everyone,
In past years our lab used B-5 fixative on bone marrow biopsies for better
immunostaining.
With the chemical hazards of B-5 we switched to AZF fixative and have been
using this for the past few years. I am just curious what everyone else is
using for fixative on their
Buffered 10% NBF, but with the pH exactly at 7.0, checked for each case. IHC is
perfect.
