SENDING SAMPLES DURING THE winter SEASON

There are many things we love about Canada in the winter, but a frozen tissue sample is not one of them. Freezing artifact can make tissue almost impossible to interpret.

To prevent freezing:

  • Add 10-20 mL of methanol, ethanol, or isopropyl alcohol to the 10% formalin already in the jar.
