Objectives: This study aims to use an alternative fixative compound with reduced concentration of formalin to minimize the exposure and related side effects. Methods: Human normal and pathological tissue samples of different organs were immediately immersed in a modified fixative containing formalin, glycerin, ethanol, and hypotonic saline with pH around 7. Two time schedules were used at 8 and 12 h. Tissue samples were undergone routine processing procedure used in histopathological laboratories, scoring of samples was done, tissue sections of new compound fixative were examined for cytoplasmic, nuclear, and architectural properties and compared with 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF). Results: Tissue samples treated with modified fixative showed good and acceptable preservation of structural, cellular details with less harmful effects when compared with those preserved with routine 10% (NBF). Conclusion: The suitability and effectiveness of reduced formalin-based fixative in histological and histopathological routine examination with minimal harmful effects for laboratory worker were clearly indicated in this study.

We present evidence for a previously unrecognized differential staining effect of Giemsa solution in fluorescence microscopy. The effect consists of selective fluorescent staining of mineralized bone (and elastic fibers) in tissue sections and, like the classical Romanowsky effect, is based on the differential binding of Eosin Y to tissue structures in the presence of Azur II and Methylene Blue. This effect opens the way to new applications of the Giemsa solution in fluorescence microscopy and in confocal fluorescence microscopy.
