[Histonet] How to fix frozen section?

It depends upon what marker you're staining for.  We fix our renal biopsies for C4d in acetone for 10".

Subject: [Histonet] How to fix frozen section?

Hello,
 
I will receive some frozen tissue sections that are not fixed. I rarely do IHC on frozen sections. I searched some articles about fixation. Some use 50/50 of acetone/alcohol and some use only alcohol. Could you please recommend a fixation method for me?
 
 
Thanks,
 
Amy
