Methods are provided to prepare a variety of tissues in a pathology-stable form keyed to the use of an aqueous solution of glyoxal and/or its addition products, including glyoxal in an amount sufficient to prevent autolysis and other degradative changes in various tissues. The said solution is capable of treating a tissue so as to maintain the tissue in a condition suitable for pathology and/or other experimental observation, and/or diagnosis. The stabilizing solution is also useful to prepare parts or whole animals, parasites, and plants in an anatomically preserved state for a prolonged period of time, and compositions useful in that method. |
