make it a more effective fixative than standard formaldehyde-based products. It yields vibrant
staining characteristics and consistent results, even after long-term fixation. The versatility of

recovery procedures as do formalin-based fixatives. HistoChoice^® also eliminates the need for
expensive ventilation systems and reduces disposal costs. Free of formaldehyde, mercury and
other toxic substances, compliance issues with workers and the environment are minimized.
HistoChoice^® is compatible with manual and automated processing procedures and equipment,
