[Histonet] bleeding eosin

[Jennifer MacDonald]

Not all mounting medium is compatible with xylene substitutes.  Certain 
combinations of mounting media and substitute can cause the bleeding of 
eosin.

That is a known disadvantage of some xylene substitutes.

  Hi - 
I was wondering if anyone who uses xylene substitutes have had problems 
with the eosin bleeding out of the tissue. I don't know if it is the type 
and brand of eosin or something else. I have never used a substitute 
before and I find that the stainer needs to be changed much more that with 
regular xylene. I seem to get a lot of water on the slides unless I change 
it every other day.
