[Histonet] Storage of formalin fixed tissue

[Lucy Bell]

Hello,


I am looking for some advice about medium-long term storage of formalin
fixed samples.
I am collecting small skin samples (4mmx4mm max) in South Africa and am
planning to fix them immediately in 10%NBF. However I am then not able
to process them until approximately three months subsequently. What is
the best storage option in this regard? Keeping them in 10%NBF at 4
degrees Celsius? I will eventually want to perform H&E staining and
potentially some immunohistochemistry.


Thanks and regards
