[Histonet] lipoma fixation(for paraffin embedding)

[FU,DONGTAO]

Hi, all

  We will harvest lipomas and was asked to fix them in acid 
formalin. Does anyone have experiences on it? How to make acid 
formalin? or where to buy it? How long should I fix them? If I use 
10%NBF instead of acid formalin, how long should I fix them?

  Many thanks,
