[Histonet] fixing rat tibia
Hi,
Could anyone advise me regarding the time required to fix a rat
tibia. Can it be fixed whole or is it best to slice in half longitudinally.
Also is 70% ethanol appropriate as a fixative for bones that have
been labelled with Oxytetracycline. Another dilema I have is that I
dont have access to a specialist tools, should I need to bisect the
tibia in half. What tools could be used to cut the tibia in half
longitudinally without cracking the bone. I am new to all this so any
any help / suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks
