[Histonet] Testicular biopsies

[Terri Braud]

I must be missing the obvious.  Why can one no longer use Bouins?  We still use Bouins.

What are people fixing testicular biopsies in to evaluate infertility?  In the past, I believe fixatives such as Zenker's and Bouin's were used for this purpose since they enhance nuclear detail.  Obviously, those fixatives can no longer be used.  Thank you.
