[Histonet] IDEA FOR A NEW RECYCLER!!!!

[Madary, Joseph]

Some manufacturer should find a way where you can add all of the
chemicals together in one container and when the recycler runs it spits
out formalin in one, xylene/hemo-de/f83/ in another and alcohol in
another all from one run.

 

To opine on another histnet query from earlier

I think both have their place.  I use CBG for xylene, form, hemo de and
alcohol using the hemo on the processor and depar, alcohol on processor
for low grade alc, and xyle for all but the last xylen on the stainer
using frsh for that.  Creative waste is good and simple but the only
thing is mixing old and new formalin can't be good long term.  What I
was thinking about doing was using creative waste gravimetric for the
first run, and then after that use the CBG to redistill NBF for round 2,
3, 4 etc.  Hey where am I getting all this money and space? Still like
BR recycler too, just do not have one anymore, but liked it.  All
recycling is good as long as people know which ones to use.  Still seems
to be an issue for some people.  I worked in a place where the techs
thought you could throw everyting in one container and the rcycler would
spit out clean alcohol, xylene and formalin from one collective run.
Hey manufactures?
