[Histonet] Xylene Substitutes

[Randolph-Habecker, Julie]

Histonetters,

My lab is considering switching to a xylene substitute for tissue processing
and other routine use. Someone had mentioned that they tried to switch to a
xylene substitute a number of years ago and they had trouble getting a few
of their antibodies to work. Has anyone else had a similar problem? If so,
what substitute did you try and what antibodies were a problem?

Thanks,
Julie
