Hello, everyone,

Is anyone aware of a commercial or homemade alcohol based EDTA
decalcifying solution?  Our fish pathologist is currently fixing his
tissues in Davidson's and would prefer to go into an alcohol decal
solution instead of an aqueous one (acid hematin
pigment forms around the red cells - not nice for photos).

Any information is, as always, greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
