: RE: [Histonet] B5 fixative We do not use B5 at all. In fact Poly Scientific has discontinued it. For those areas like us that are going Mercury free, the Pathologist would have no choice but to find a replacement fixative. For those who still use B5, just how are you disposing of it?

Try the B5 substitute from Poly Scientific. I did a comparison of the B5 substitutes several years ago and theirs came out on top. Linda Linda Blazek HT (ASCP) Manager/Supervisor GI Pathology of Dayton 7415 Brandt Pike Huber Heights, OH 45424 Phone: (937) 293-4424 ext 7118 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTE
