[Histonet] TESTICULAR BIOSY

[Tony Henwood]

Beware,
 
Protein picrates are believed to be quite soluble in water. I would
recommend storing in 80% or more ethanol prior to processing, not NBF.
Fixation time 4-8 hours for a small biopsy (up to 4mm in diameter)

Our lab is receiving a testicular biopsy that will be received in Bouin's
Solution.  We routinely place specimans in 10% NBF after grossing.  So, my
question is how long should the biopsy stay in the Bouin's solution for
proper fixation before placing into 10% NBF?
Thanks!
