Sorry It took me so long to respond. We dissolve iodine in xylene. We
have few B5 specimens so we use a coplin jar and treat a couple of
slides at a time for five minutes and then hang them on our automated
stainer at the first deparaffinizing xylene. As far as the amount of
iodine in xylene, It's like a palm full of parsley, season to taste,
whatever works.
