[Histonet] best fixative for eyes

[Jackie O'Connor]

How long are you leaving the eyes in the mDavidsons?  We have found 24 hours works extremely well.

What are people's thoughts/experience with different fixatives for eyes
(rat, mouse and rabbit mostly).

We currently use modified Davidson's solution, but the pathologist is
considering going to Davidson's.

I guess there has been some difficulty with cutting due to the lens not
getting fixed well and causing problems.

 

Thank you for sharing
