Resumo(s)
Fixation is a fundamental and critical step in the preparation of tissue specimens for histological study since, if it is carried out under non optimal conditions, irreversible damage can occur and subsequent information obtainable from the specimen is compromised. Formaldehyde is the most common fixative in histology but due to its occupational and environmental toxicity, formalin substitute’s fixatives have been developed. The toxic evaluations of these fixatives to environmental key species are still poorly studied.
