Try the B5 substitute from Poly Scientific.  I did a comparison of the B5 substitutes several years ago and theirs came out on top.

Subject: [Histonet] B5 fixative

How many still use B5 fixative? And for those who do not, what do you use as a replacement? One of our pathologists is insistent on using B5, and we'd rather try to get away from it.
Thanks,
Bryan
