[Histonet] Re: HOPE fixation
Kim Merriam asks about HOPE fixation,
and Joyce Weems and Bryan Hewlett reply:
Depending on the Pathologist doing the grossing, I think it's where you hope
fixation will occur.
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Seriously, this technique is from Germany and seems to be a research
technique - at least, I can't think of a clinical use for it. Note that it's not
actually a fixative. See
www.hope-fixation.com
HEPES is one of the Good buffers (see Good's article in the JBC, 1966) - look
it up in a Sigma catalog for more information.
