[Histonet] clearium

[kimberly muska]

            Does anyone have any experience with the Surgipath product “Clearium”? It is a mounting medium that clears and coverslips in “one easy step” eliminating the need for xylene or xylene substitutes following staining. Does it decrease the shelf life of the slides? Is it very expensive? In my lab we use a microwave processor so if I used this product I would have no need for Xylene or substitutes at all.
