Linda Miller posts in what appears to be an advertisement: >>New! Bouin's Fixative Substitute is a low-hazard replacement for Bouin's Fixative. This substitute provides all the benefits of Bouin's without the use of picric acid. Available in a variety of sizes and pre-filled specimen containers.<<
It seems to me that "Bouin's Fixative Substitute" is an honest name for the stuff. But what's in it that substitutes for picric acid? If that's a trade secret, then I wouldn't use the stuff. If you tell us, I'm sure many of us will be happy to buy it rather than brew it, but secret formulas have no place in science.
