[Histonet] What is 10% Buffered Formalin Acetate

[Harvey, Jennifer Lynn]

I had a investigator say that he is using 10% Buffered Formalin Acetate to fix his mouse brains. They order it from Fisher (127-09-3). It is buffered with Sodium Acetate instead. Has anyone ever used this and why would you want to? I have never heard of it before! It is a new one to me!
