[Histonet] Optiprobe question

[PALMER Jason (SVHM)]

Hello.

I've just come across a reference (from 1998) where tissue was fixed in "Optiprobe" prior to paraffin embedding. I can't find much basic info on this fixative on the net and was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it, or whether it is a formaldehyde-based product?

Thanks,  Jason
