I'm trying to revise our laboratories SOPs. They currently are using 20% 
NBF to fix mammalian brains and alcohol-formalin to fix avian brains. In 
the past, I've used 10% NBF for all brains. Does anyone have any input on 
this? I'd like to keep things simple, if possible, and just use one 
fixative.
