Description
Hartman’s fixative is often used as a safer and more efficient alternative to bouin’s fixative. Comparatively, it produces less shrinkage and superior morphologic detail after application. It may be used in the preservation of eye tissue, bone marrow, fatty tissues from the breast and testis, as well as others for histological examination. Its versatility also makes it effective in the location of lymph nodes in radical dissection specimens, causing the glands to distinctively turn white.
