[Histonet] substitute for xylene

[Fred Underwood]

Hi Myriam,

The June 2000 issue of Journal of Histotechnology (volume 23, number 2)
has an article dealing with using mineral oil inplace of xylene for
processing.  Many years ago I used peanut oil in processing catheters
removed from dog hearts (to examine the surrounding tissue for
something, though I don't remember  what).  If you don't have access to
the JOH article I could fax/mail it to you.

Hello everyone

i have some samples made of polystyrene and i want to embed them in
paraffin or MMA. But xylene and toluene attacks polystyrene. DO you Know
another clearing agent to replace Xylene ?
Thank you very much in advance.
