Hi Kemlo,
Thanks for your suggestion, I did not think of rinsing! The EM tech here
had never heard of a glut/isopropyl mix, we use a 2%glut solution in
buffer for the EM done here. I will be cutting and staining the blocks
today, it will be interesting.
Thanks,

Expect the tissue is rather brittle, used to be used for
electromicroscopy I
think. Wonder if you could secondary fix? Can't aldehyde/ alcohol
fixation
be 'washed out' then the tissue refixed in something more conventional?

Hi histonetters,
 I received samples that have been fixed   in a   1%glut / 20% isopropyl
alcohol solution for paraffin processing. I have never heard of this
fixative, I know alcoholic formalin but never alcoholic glutaraldehyde.
Are any of you familiar with this fixative?
Thank you.
