Formalin Fixation Time
Dec 27 2018 · The most recent ASCO/CAP Guidelines related to HER2 testing in breast cancer recommendations cytologic biopsy and resection specimens should be placed in formalin in a timely fashion (within 1 hour) and should be fixed in 10 neutral buffered formalin for 6 to 72 hours

Use plenty of fixative The general rule is to use at least 15 volume equivalents of formalin per volume of tissue A higher formalin-to-tissue ratio certainly won\'t hurt and just requires a larger container Formalin is relatively cheap so don’t skimp on this step
How fast does formalin penetrate tissues?
While formalin penetrates tissues at the rate of about 1mm/hour, penetration is not the same as fixation and the biochemical cross-linking that represents formalin fixation requires more time.
How long should formalin fixation last?
• Prolonged fixation i.e. >72 hours in formalin or other aldehyde-based fixatives should be avoided because it may produce nonspecific background staining, be more difficult to reverse and also result in loss of immunohistochemical antigenicity. 8,19
How much formalin should I use?
Use plenty of fixative. The general rule is to use at least 15 volume equivalents of formalin per volume of tissue. A higher formalin-to-tissue ratio certainly won't hurt, and just requires a larger container. Formalin is relatively cheap, so don’t skimp on this step.
Fixation for less than the optimally specified time below should be should be kept aside for routine formalin fixation without decalcification as acid.
