[Histonet] long term storage of tissue

[Mazan, Melissa]

Hi all, 
I have lungs that have been inflated with formalin/agar for a stereology study - mice had also been treated wtih BRDU.  Problem is - took the mice down today and now find out that I cannot get them into paraffin for at least a week.  Lungs are in formalin now - should I change them to 70% ethanol for long term (7-10 day) storage? Thanks! Melissa
