Do you know where there might be a reference for….”How long can a specimen be
in saline until it should be placed in formalin or other fixative?”
Thank you

Hi Nancy,
I found this paper (unfortunately I don't have access to the full article) that
may be of help; they looked at various time points for holding the tissue in
saline before being fixed in formalin.
