[Histonet] slide staining dishes?

[Nancy Klemme]

Dear Jason,	
	The "green" dishes that are used in the TissueTek manual stain
setup are ACETAL COPOLYMER and were designed for holding xylene and
xylene substitutes.    
	The clear or "white" dishes are POLYETHYLENE and were designed
for use with standard stains and reagents, but not xylene.  

Kind regards,
Nancy Klemme

quick question. does anyone know if you can use solvent resistant
containers 
(ie tissue-tek green containers) to put xylenes into or do you have to
us 
polyprolene containers?
thanks.
