Which fixatives can be used in the Leica ASP300 S/200 S?
Recommended reagents for the fixation step are formalin buffered or unbuffered, and formalin saline. Other reagents may damage some components of the instrument. Never use acetone, benzene or trichlorethane! Fixatives containing mercuric salts, acetic or picric acid will shorten instrument life. If you choose to work with such reagents, it is essential to perform a cleaning cycle which contains multiple water rinses after each use to minimize damage.
