[Histonet] EZ-Fix

[Geoff McAuliffe]

Hi Paul:  

    Sales claims are just that, sales claims. Did your administrator 
expect the sales person to say EZ-fix was worse than Pen-Fix? And 
comparing an alcohol based fix to aqueous formalin is comparing apples 
to oranges. The only way you will know is to try it yourself.
