[Histonet] What is your favorite frozen section fixative

[Stephen Peters M.D.]

HI histonetters,
   
  I would like to do a comparison of the morphologic results using different fixatives
   for frozen section slides. I have always been happy with 95% ETOH. I know there are other good fixatives people use and I thought it would be useful to compare them. I will photograph and add these results to my 
  web site tutorial (  http://pathologyinnovations.com/frozen_section_technique.htm ) and frozen section lecture ( NSH Region 1 April 28 & 29 and California Society 
  of Histotechnology May 18-21).  
  Please let me know what you find is the best fixative for frozen section morphology.
   
  Stephen
