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.
