Good day all,

 I understand that tissue being fixed in Carnoys should not remain in the fixative more than 4 hrs. If the tissue will not be able to be processed for several hrs after that, can the tissue be held in 70% ETOH . Also if methyl alcohol is going to be used in the Carnoys instead of ethyl do all the alcohols used in the processor need to switched?

Thanks,
