[Histonet] Formula 83

[Blazek, Linda]

Phyllis,
I have used Formula 83 for several years and have no problem with it.  I do use it just like xylene.  As for how frequently you need to change it on the processor really depends on your volume of processing.  I didn't have to change the frequency when I switched from xylene to Formula 83.  I also recycle my Formula 83.

Does anyone have any experience with Formula 83. We are evaluation it now and I would like to know how frequently it needs to be changed on the processor. The label says use just like xylene...BUT is there anyone out in HistoLand that uses it? I would like to know your experience in processing. Right now we are using it on a VIP.

Thanks!!!
