5 days (96 h) is more than enough, but always handle the tissue and blocks using safety precautions.

Hi,
Do anyone have references for how long should autopsy/necropsy tissue be in fixation for a suspected TB case?  Is 72-96 hours fixation sufficient or should the time be extended to 5-7 days.
Thanks,
