Zinc Formalin Fixative, pH 6.25 HVWX6g .......................................
Excellent morphological preservation of nuclear & cytoplasmic components. Can replace neutral
buffered formalin for routine tissue and immunohistochemical procedures. Non-precipitating
fixative which can be used with automated and manual methods. Zinc formalin is best used as
a primary fixative which minimizes denaturation. Specimens initially fixed in buffered formalin
may be post fixed in Zinc Formalin for a week without an effect. Technical Data Sheet #458
