    Author: Zhang W, Li Y, Lin J, Ni L, Zhang H.
    Journal: Yan Ke Xue Bao; 2006 Jun; 22(2):112-4. PubMed ID: 17162889.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To search for an effective fixative solution for retina. METHODS: One group of retinas were fixed in an admixture of formalin, dehydrated alcohol and glacial acetic acid (FFA). The other group of retinas were fixed in 10% neutral formalin.HE and immunohistochemistry were performed. Then compare the difference under the light microscope. RESULTS: The structure of the retinas fixed in FFA fixative solution was clear. The cells were arranged and compacted. Few exfoliation of the tissue from the glass slide was observed. CONCLUSION: FFA fixative solution is superior to 10% neutral formalin for the fixation of retina.
