Ethyl acetate as a substitute for diethyl ether in the formalin-ether sedimentation technique.

K H Young, S L Bullock, D M Melvin and C L Spruill

ABSTRACT

Ethyl acetate appears to be a satisfactory subsitute solvent for diethyl ether in the Formalin-ether sedimentation technique. In comparative studies, concentration of organisms with ethyl acetate was equal to or greater than that with diethyl ether. No distortion or alteration of morphology was observed with eigher solvent, and preparations were comparable in appearance and ease of examination. In addition, ethyl acetate is less flammable and less hazardous to use than diethyl ether.
