Dear Anna, I am using AFA for diferent micoscopy tecnics (In toto
inmuno-histochemistry and resin inclusion for conventional staining) and in
both cases i recomend this fixation mixture where hight preservation
morphology is needed. Besides im not sure about the AFA cross-linking
effects in RNA, but i think is not larger than paraformaldehyde.
I hope to be useful
