Davidson's Fixative solution
containing 3.7% formaldehyde, normal saline, glacial acetic acid and alcohol. 
INTENDED USE: 
Davidson's (sometimes called Hartmann's) fixative is a rapid fixative which gives good nuclear detail
with minimal formalin pigment. Specimens cut and stain as if fixed in ordinary formalin. Davidson's
fixative contains no mercury or other metals.
Davidson's fixative is particularly useful for preparing tumors, bone marrow specimens, gynecologic
material, fatty breast, and medical biopsies. It may be used for testicular biopsies and for overnight
fixation of fat containing lymph nodes. Fixation of small specimens is rapid. Exposure to the fixative
should be limited to 24 hours (tissue may be transferred to neutral buffered formalin or 70% alcohol
for storage).
