[Histonet] Isopropyl alcohol

[Rene J Buesa]

First of all, if you recycle correctly your 2-propanol there is no objective reason why you cannot use it in your MW processor, unless your provider wants you to buy your 2-propanol from them.

We recycle our isopropyl alcohol. We have been told by our microwave manufacturer that we cannot use the recycled alcohol on the microwave processor.

As a result, I am trying to find additional uses for the recycled isopropyl.  Is there any reason why I can't use the iso in place of ethanol when running the slides down to water on the H&E stainer? 

Any others uses?

Any input is greatly appreciated!  :o)
