validation on the recycler prior to putting into use (separate from the

Hello all,
Looking for information on Xylene substitutes. I have never used it before
and wondered:
1. Is it cost effective?
2. How do you dispose of it?
3. Do you use it just like Xylene - just as many times, or change more
often?
4. Can you recycle it?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Heather,
We have been using Formula 83 by CBG Biotech for over 7 years now with no
problems, we even
recycle it.

Hi Lori,
Pretty much any xylene sub will work for processing tissues and staining. You
may need to add additional time in the xylene steps, since the action of the
subs isn't as quick as xylene.
In addition, the substitutes are more intolerant of water. How humid is your
lab? If it's dry, then

We use Formula 83 for overnight processing. It works well with no
