RE: Achrived tissue viability when stored in 10% formalin
Message
We
store tissue in 70% ethanol to preserve antigenicity, if that is what you are
asking.

Hello,
The company I work for has been asked by one of our
clients how long tissue (animal) can be stored in formalin and still be
viable. We have gone back to tissue stored for ~10yrs. but the staining
was poor. If there is any advice on where we can find documentation of
this information it would be appreciated. Any thoughts on the time frame also
are welcome.
Thank You,
Loriann
