Here is the approximate chemical make-up of LTP with Phenol. (LTP stands for Long Term Preservation) Ethanol 48.% Formaldehyde 20.% Ethylene Glycol 4.% Phenol 11.% Glutaraldehyde 4.%
Due to the presence of Ethylene Glycol, I would let the tissue set in a separate container of 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin for 24 hours before processing as usual. I hope this helps. Terri Terri L.

Can I put those straight into the processor? Or has to be rinsed/soaked before? If so what should I use? My Internet searches did not bring up anything useful. Thank you!
