[Histonet] Fixation for breasts

[Mandy O'Connor]

Hey fellow histo nuts!  Anyone have any good recommendations for fixing breast tissue?  We were wondering about an alcoholic formalin but are unsure if it will hinder or mess up the SISH results.

We usually end up re-processing the block again just to get a good slide that is semi readable.  Thanks for any and all help!
