Abstract

Accurate specimen identification is critical in the everyday practice of dermatology. Formalin, which is used to preserve tissue samples, also acts as a solvent and can cause fading of the ink used to label specimen containers. Herein, we identify commonly used pens and markers with various inks that are susceptible or resistant to accidental formalin exposure to ensure durability of specimen labeling.
