Sharon-

We purchase our modified Davidson's from Rowley Biochemical Institute.  They
list the ingredients as:

	Formaldehyde (37-40%)		11%
	Ethanol				14.25%
	Methanol				0.75%
		(Here I would just substitute denatured EtOH 15%)
	Glacial Acetic Acid		5%
	Water					69%

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I was wondering where I can find a procedure for Modified
Davidson's fixative.  I have the method for Davidson's fixative,
but I can't find the modified procedure.  Any help would be most
appreciated.

Thanks,

Sharon
