Hi histonetters!
Can anyone tell me what, if any, guidelines there are for fixation time for
animal tissue with potential subsequent IHC stains. I am very familiar
with CAP guidelines for receptor testing with breast cases, but I can't

know if this would be ok to use? And

Dear Histonetters,

Using pure formaldehyde as a fixative is not a good idea (you already know
that) and the staining will be affected BUT, on the other hand, IHC will only
require stronger HIER (more time and temperature) but other than that I do
think the epitopes will be detected. So the effects will be mostly

Rene is correct, formalin fixes slowly so more time is needed. Raising
the concentration of formaldehyde will not help. Adding a small amount
of glutaraldehyde (0.25 to 0.5%) will fix more quickly but may have a
negative effect on immunostaining.

24 hours and then stored in 70% alcohol for 1 day before processing. The

If the G in 4F1G is glutaraldehyde the glut. will probably kill off the
immunoreactivity (depending on the antigen in question).
How long are the embryos being fixed? Remember, formalin works slowly so
5-7 days may be necessary.-
I would try a formalin + alcohol mix or formalin-alcohol-acetic
Use Bouin's fixative.

Hi TF:
Your problem should not be happening.
Sounds like poor perfusion followed by immersing the whole brain (with
the wound deep in the interior) in a small volume of fix at 4 degrees C.
What fixative are you using?
