[Histonet] Glyoxol vs Formalin

[traczyk7 <@t> aol.com]

What changes should one expect to do when changing from a glyoxol fixative  
to formalin?  Client has been successfully processing prostate biopsies on  
a Milestone RHS for several years.  They are now looking to switch to  
formalin in anticipation of the need for future molecular studies.  The  nuclear 
detail on their trial run formalin fixed (4 hours pre-mw) is not  good.  Do 
you think a formalin-alcohol mixture would give them results  closer to 
what they got with Glyoxol?
Thanks in advance.
