Georgios Kalampounias

Hello,

Yes you can, the solution you are trying to prepare is a common PFA alternative called 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin.

You mix 1 part of 37-40% formaldehyde solution and 9 parts of PBS. There are many publications using this fixative, and it should work just fine.

Best of luck,

George

Aleksandar Rajkovic

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Alex
