<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=824360516-23102003> I
want to know if after a fixation with zinc fixative(for IHC), we
can process the tissue in a regular formalin program (paraffin
impregnation)? Should I change the first bath (fromalin) for the zinc
fixative (with formaline). Is it corrosive for the processor? And should I rince
the tissue in tap water before the processing to release zinc
residue?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
