A fixative for intestinal parasites permitting the use of concentration and permanent staining procedures

J Yang et al. Am J Clin Pathol. 1977 Mar.

Abstract

Results obtained with stools preserved in a simple, stable and relatively nontoxic fixative (SAF) composed of sodium acetate, acetic acid and formalin, suggest that this fixative is a suitable alternative to other fixatives for the preservation and recovery of intestinal parasites by diphasic concentration methods and permanent staining.
