[Histonet] Spirit fixation of tissue

[JOHN PHILLIPS]

Hello Histonet users,

I would really appreciate knowing where to find an article, author unknown, published, probably somewhere in the time period 1972 to 1986, about the use of spirit for the fixation of skin biopsies and the like. I think it may have been published in the Institute of Medical Laboratory Technology journal (UK) or may be the Journal of Clinical Pathology (UK). The article investigated the effects of rum, whisky, gin and vodka etc. on tissue. I think rum came out on top.

I am presenting a talk to GP's and would like to mention this as part of my presentation. I shall of course advise them not to use a Scottish malt under any circumstances that would be sacrilage. American bourbon may be!

Thanks,

John
