Hello!
I am wondering how many labs are using B-5 fixatives and how many are using B-5
alternatives due to the mercury issue?
For those who have switched to an alternative, have you noticed many
differences from the traditional B-5 fixative?
Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Can anyone tell me why B-5 fixative is called B-5?
Does the B stand for something, or does the 5 have a meaning?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
