Will Rapid Fix work with immuno studies and/or procedures?
Immuno studies will be performed using the same procedures as formalin when using Rapid Fix. ↑ Back to Top • Introduction to Formalin Formalin is a very slow fixative and requires approximately 24 hours for adequate fixation. Consequently, it is not very effective in the first two stations for fixation of tissues if processors are run on the usual 8-12 hour schedule. Time in each fixative station with formalin is usually a maximum of 2-4 hours. Therefore, a more rapid fixative is desirable in the first two stations of the processor. ↑ Back to Top • How are P1, P2 and P3 different than regular graded alcohol? These alcohols are blended to give consistent dehydration. They are also blends of alcohols in stead of one specific alcohol. This provides very steady dehydration and clearer staining. ↑ Back to Top • How do I dispose of B-Plus? B-Plus does have very small amounts of zinc in the formula and thus must be disposed of properly. Please consult you local waste water authorities for pro
