[Histonet] Recycled Xylene

[Laurie Colbert]

We process with recycled xylene and have no problems.  We also use it
for staining but use fresh for coverslipping.

Subject: [Histonet] Recycled Xylene

Hello in Histo land.
 
  I know it is a subject brought up over and over again but I need to
get the opinion of my fellow Histo techs on processing tissue with
recycled Xylene.  Yes I know it saves money and is better for the earth,
but is the quality of the tissue the same??? Coverslipping and clearing
slides with it I can see being ok, but processing with it??? It is not
100% after recycling.  I could use any thought on the subject.  
 
Thanks in advance
