Hi, we replaced B5 with B-Plus Fixative, we use it for our bone marrow bx's and aspirates. They seem to be happy with the 
  results, many IHC's are ordered on the bone marrows< Haven't heard any complaints. I order it from BBC Biochemical 
  Catalog # 1751 for 1 gallon phone # is 1-800-635-4477.
  Have A Good One!!

Am looking for advice on what alternate fixative to use to replace B5.  What
do the majority of you histonetters use?  Does it work well with immunos?
The pros and cons?  Thank you for your recommendations.
