[Histonet] Xylene Substitutes

[Christine Tambasco]

   Hello histonetters-

   Once  again  I  will  offer  some information. I use Clear Rite 3 from
   Richard  Allen  and havent had any problems with my immunos. I use the
   Biogenex  kit and antibodies. Maybe its the type of antibodies you are
   using. It has been my experience that you have to be a detective to be
   in this line of work! Enjoy troubleshooting! Have a good day everyone.
