[Histonet] Klotz fixative

[John Kiernan]

A Google search for KLOTZ FIXATIVE brings up many hits, with indications that "Klotz solution" is an embalming fluid for gross anatomy.  That's not the same as as a fixative. 
 
Follow up the links and see if they match what you need.  
Embalming fluids do not necessarily provide good histological fixation.
