[Histonet] 10% NBF Question

[Va Paula Sicurello]

Hello Listers,

Has anyone had any problems with fixation using Richard-Allan Scientific 10% NBF?  Some of our gastric biopsies are looking a little off.  The rest of the biopsies fixed in the same NBF and processed on the same processor look fine.

This issue would have come up in the last couple of weeks.

I know that Richard-Allan recalled their NBF a couple of years ago because the % was 0-3 not 10%.

Please let me know if any of you are experiencing something similar.

Sincerely,


Paula
