[Histonet] Zinc-Based Fixative

[Shirley PHUA]

Dear All,

Reference Article: 
Lab Invest 2003 Jun;83(6):889-99 
Zinc-based fixative improves preservation of genomic DNA and proteins in 
histoprocessing of human tissues

Anyone out there know of the exact composition of any zinc-based fixative 
that is based on the following?
1. 0.5% Zinc Chloride and
2. 0.5% Zinc Acetate in 0.1M Tris base buffer containing 0.05% calcium 
acetate


Many thanks & regards,
