Abstract
The possibility of using readily available media such as salt and alcohol to preserve tissue samples in non-tropical climates has been previously reported.

Using bovine flesh as proxy, salt and commercial liquors such as whiskey and vodka were found to be effective in preserving the tissue samples at ambient temperatures over a 3 month period.
