for immunohistochemistry) and their vendors?
Answer. Here are all of the ones that I know about; some of them may be sold under different names by other vendors: GlyoFix from Shandon Lipshaw uses glyoxal as the active ingredient; produces aldehyde-type fixation patterns. Histochoice from Amresco; active ingredients essentially undisclosed (aldehydic addition compounds); mode of action unknown. HistoFix, formerly from Trend Scientific, perhaps still available from Baxter, contains pyrrolid-2-one, a polyol, a urea and a zinc salt; mode of action unknown. Mirsky’s Fixative from National Diagnostics is an aqueous solution of a complex di-aldehyde (possible di-aldehyde starch); mode of action may be aldehyde-like, but very slow. NoToX from EarthSafe Industries, uses a complex aldehyde (possibly di-aldehyde glucose) in about 70% alcohol with antiseptic and antifungal agents; produces a combination of aldehyde- and alcohol-type fixation patterns. OmniFix II and OmniFix 2000 from AnCon Genetics is an alcohol-based solution containing gly
