[Histonet] Looking for Crystals

Hello all,

When a specimen is sent for crystals, as in a case of joint fluid or gout,
should the specimen be sent to us fresh or should it be in some sort of
fixative.

I had a discussion with the pathologist, and I told him that the specimen
should be received fresh.  He thought that fixing it in alcohol should be OK
too.
