[Histonet] gliut/isopropyl alcohol

Tue Nov 30 13:07:43 CST 2004

Hi histonetters,
 I received samples that have been fixed   in a   1%glut / 20% isopropyl
alcohol solution for paraffin processing. I have never heard of this
fixative, I know alcoholic formalin but never alcoholic glutaraldehyde.
Are any of you familiar with this fixative?
Thank you.
