Dear Peter,
Some of the information you mention as "anecdotal" is wrong. Formaldehyde and
paraformaldehyde are well documented in original peer-reviewed papers and in
all textbooks in the fields of histotechnology and
John,
I totally agree

Your anecdote about "high concentrations of formaldehyd
Formaldehyde 37% (commonly called 100% formalin) compared to 4% ( commonly
known as 10% neutral buffered formalin)-in theory the 37% should fix quicker
and better BUT anecdotally it is said that high concentrations of
formaldehyde quickly form a "shell" in the tissue and will stop good
penetration
