[Histonet] Re: re-using modified Davidson's solution

[Robert Richmond]

Robin Dean asks: >>Can one re-use modified Davidson's solution for
fixing eyes and testes, or has it lost its potency/efficacy after
being used previously? Can you rejuvenate it by adding more acetic
acid? (how much?)<<

I would think that limited re-use would be acceptable - the
proportions of the ingredients in the formula (3 parts water, 3 parts
alcohol, 2 parts 37% formalin, 1 part glacial acetic acid) are pretty
forgiving. I wouldn't "rejuvenate" it.
