The choice of storage solution depends on several factors, including the type of tissue, the intended analysis, and the duration of storage. For example:
For routine histology: Formalin is typically used due to its wide applicability and effectiveness in preserving tissue morphology. For molecular studies: Ethanol or RNAlater may be preferred to preserve nucleic acids. For delicate tissues: Bouin's solution or paraformaldehyde might be more suitable to preserve fine cellular details.
