[Histonet] mercury free fixatives

Wed Mar 17 16:24:30 CST 2004

Lori,

Thermo sells Zinc Formal Fixx. That works fairly well for a B-5
substitute. We can send you a sample if you'd like. Let me know.

Best regards,

Mark

                      03/17/2004 12:22 PM                                                                                                           

I am trying to find a replacement for B5 fixative for lymph nodes and bone
marrow.  I am currently testing B-Plus fixative but am not completely happy
with the results so far.  Has anybody had good results with B-Plus or
another mercury free alternative?  Any feedback would be greatly
appreciated.
