[Histonet] NBF usage in the world

[Gudrun Lang]

Hi!

Is it correct to say, that NBF is used in nearly every histolab in the world
as standard-fixative?



Here in Austria, I don't know any lab, that uses any other fixative. Nor any
formalin-substitute.

There have to be a few labs, that work with the Sakura XPRESS and their
UMfix?

What's about US? Are chromats or mercurychlorid still in use?

Or does immunhistochemistry and molpath force us into uniformity anyway?



What's your opinion?



Kind regards

Gudrun
