Preservation of Animal Tissues, with a Note on Staining Soultions

G. OWEN 1 and H. F. STEEDMAN 1

1 Department of Zoology, The University of Glasgow

Methods are given by which animal material, fixed by any desired method, may be preserved against attack by fungi or bacteria. The reagents employed are glycol monophenyl enters(‘Phenoxetol’), and esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (‘Nipa’ esters). These reagents, dissolved in water, produce colourless and almost odourless solutions, in which a variety of animals have been preserved for many months without showing any traces of deterioration or decomposition.
