Hi Sionagh:
  Jore's fixative (1896):
  Water dist. ---100 mL + 40% formaldehyde--- 10 mL + sodium sulfate --- 2g + magnesium sulfate ---2 g + sodium chloride --- 1 g
  Klotz's: there are 3 formulas: 2 by Klotz & Coburn (1916) and 1 by Klotz & MacLachan (1915)
  The 1915 formula (original) is as follows:
  Water dist.---100 mL + 40% formaldehyde --- 0.5 mL + chloral hydrate --- 3 g + sodium sulfate --- 0.7 g + sodium bicarbonate --- 0.6 g + sodium chloride --- 0.55 g + potassium sulfate --- 0.06 g + potassium nitrate --- 1.2 g

  Can anyone help me with a recipe for Jore's or Klotz fixative solutions? I 
have used both in the past for retaining colour and consistency of post 
mortem specimens for teaching veterinary students. I have been unable to 
find an actual recipe since someone else always prepared them! I wish I'd 
paid more attention now....

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
