We've traditionally stored our tissues (both animal tissues and
     engineered tissue constructs) in PBS in the refrigerator after
     formalin fixation. The residual traces of formalin seem to inhibit any
     bacterial growth; at least we've never seen any. They generally get
     processed within a week or so.

Gayle et al,

So if I'm not to store the tissues after fixation in 70% alcohol, what
should I store them in?  PBS with Azide?
