Formalin substitute fixatives

Another fixative, Kryofix (E. Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) has been recommended as a replacement for formaldehyde in immunohistochemistry by Boon and Kok (1994). Kryofix is a coagulant fixative containing 50% ethyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol (mol. wt. 300). Both ethyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol diffuse rapidly into the tissue, and the tissue fixation is completed in Kryofix in 90 sec with microwave heating. I do not have personal experience with Kryofix. [Pg.60]
