Has anyone compared 10%NBF fixative to ZincTris fixative for IHC?

06 April 2018 1 2K Report

I've read a couple articles on using ZincTris in fixing tissues for IHC and was wondering if anyone has experience doing this. This fixative differs from ZincFormalin as there is no formalin in the recipe. Contains mostly zinc chloride. I would love to hear your experience.

Thanks,

Judi Gordon

I was wondering if you have used ZincTris (not Zinc Formalin) for fixing tissue: how long would you fix the tissue, what, if any, antigen retrieval method would you recommend; what IHC detection method do you use; how does the staining compare to formalin fixed tissue and what trouble shooting issues may occur.

Thanks,

Judi
