Jacqie,

I have been using Streck Fixative for several times for some tumor samples
but do not notice much differences comparing with formalin, except for one
antibody (CD31) that works much better than formalin fixative. Morphology
looks similar as formalin fixation. That all I can say about this. Hope this
helps.

Richard
