[Histonet] CBG BIOTECH RECYCLER

[srishan <@t> mail.holyname.org]

Hi All,

Needs some information on waste of xylene and alcohol.

We are currently using a CBG recycler in our lab.  We have been told that 
the clean alcohols and xylenes should not go in the recycler since it 
contains paraffin. 
Also the observation is, the alcohols put in the machine is percentage 
wise less than what is put in.  In other words the recycled alcohols are 
used as 95% or less.  Our cytology department does not used the recycled 
alcohols or xylenes since they claim to have staining issues.
Does any one out there has developed a standard of howmany times the 
alcohols and xylene can be recycled?  Do you have a company pick up your 
waste after a couple of recycles. 
Who helps out with the waste disposal and are they poured into 55 gallon 
drums and hauled away?

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks
