Application Guidelines:
The choice of fixative is crucial for specific research. Buffered Neutral 10% Formalin is the optimal choice for most analytical methods. After tissue dissection, immerse the sample in a wide-mouthed container filled with this formalin solution. Ensure the volume of the fixative is at least 20 times the volume of the tissue sample to maintain proper concentration.
Fixation duration varies based on tissue type, specimen size, and the nature of the examination. Typically, fixation is performed at room temperature. However, for specialized studies like histochemical or electron microscopy, refrigeration at 4°C may be necessary. Urgent biopsies may benefit from fixation at an elevated temperature.
Safety Precautions:
- Always use in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid inhaling vapors.
- Prevent contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
Shelf Life & Storage:
- Shelf Life: 24 months.
- Storage: Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container.
