[Histonet] Bouin's rinsing protocol

[Jennifer Anderson]

Hello.

I am looking for information regarding procedures for tissue handling
after Bouin's fixation, prior to processing in a standard automated
tissue processor (VIP).  We are handling pig, mouse, rat, and human
samples, and will fix in Bouin's for 48-72 hrs.  I've been told to rinse
until all yellow is washed out, and people generally rinse in 70%
alcohol or water.  Sometimes it take days to wash all of the picric acid
out.

Thank you so much for your wealth of information!
