Have you ever been asked if a specimen has been placed in formalin
or
saline but you are reluctant to have a sniff and blast your mucous
membranes?.
Here is a simple test ;
Add few drops of the fluid to 1 ml of your reticulin silver
solution.
If it turns white the fluid is saline.
If it turns black you have got formalin .
Easy!
