Re: [Histonet] Looking for Crystals
Uric acid crystals (urates) should be fixed in absolute alcohol.& nbsp; You want to preserve them, but they are soluble in aqueous
solutions.= When processing the tissue begin in the absolute alcohol
on the proc= essor.

Subject: [Histonet] Looking for Crystals
Hello all,
When a specimen is sent for crysta= ls, as in a case of joint fluid or
gout,
should the specimen be sent to = us fresh or should it be in some sort
of
fixative.
I had a discus= sion with the pathologist, and I told him that the
specimen
should be re= ceived fresh. He thought that fixing it in alcohol
should be OK
to= o.
