[Histonet] RE: formalin substitute

[Tryka, A. Francine]

I supply Excell to a clinician allergic to formalin.  These are small GI biopsy specimens and I place them directly into our 10% NBF (thus, no special handling) and see no difference in the histology, nor is there any problem with sectioning.  F Tryka, M.D.

Subject: [Histonet] formalin substitute

Is there any problem (to tissue or processor) adding tissue fixed in a formalin substitute to a processor where 10% NBF is used?
Thanks,
Gale
