The <a href="https://spnhc.biowikifarm.net/wiki/Tissue_Sample_Collection" target="_blank">SPNHC wiki</a> on the topic is helpful too. I've been told that storing tissue samples in EtOH isn't ideal because it reduces the ability to detect certain pathogens, but I certainly understand being tight on money and am curious how others answer your second question.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Best,</font></div><div><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Catherine</font></div><div><br></div><div><table border="0px" style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><tbody><tr><td style="width:167px"><table style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://www.smm.org/" target="_blank"><img src="https://smm.org/enews/2020/footer-2020-new.png" width="167" style="display:block"></a></td><td style="padding-left:15px"><p style="font-family:"Proxima Nova",Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(63,63,63);font-size:18px;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;line-height:18px"><strong>Catherine M.
