[Histonet] alternates to absolute ethanol

[Michael W. Folsom]

Hi:

I want to process some plant tissue for microtomy.  When I was doing
this many years ago the protocol I used involved absolute ethanol. 
Knowing that getting ethanol that is really anhydrous is hard I was
wondering if folks were using stuff that was denatured with 55% absolute
methanol and 5% isoproponol instead.  I understand it has better shelf
life but wondered about the addition of small mounts of methanol and
isopropanol.

Also, if anybody is using this can you recommend a supplier? 


Thanks -
