This web page had the most info I could find (the Amresco website wouldn't
give me anything).

I still wouldn't pour it down the sink.  Anything capable of preserving
tissue can't be all that good for the fishies!

Good evening fellow histonetters!!!!
 
    I was wondering if anyone is using or has tried a product called
"Histochoice".  If so, what feedback can you give me?Our pathologist went on
an inspection and the folks that he did the inspection on is using it and
told him that it can be
poured down the drain....how true is this? What are the
advantages/disadvantages of this product?
 
   Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
