Phase partition fixation permits fixation of tissue in a nonaqueous environment, thus eliminating osmotic effects. It was shown in an earlier investigation that retention of protein in liver blocks can be improved by phase partition Incation. By using radioisotopic labeling techniques, the effects of phase partition fixation on lipid retention during Incation, dehydration, and dearing have been determined and compared with those of standard aqueous Iixation techniques. In this artide we show that retention of total lipid
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
