[Histonet] Xylene alternative

[Nicole Tatum]

Summary & Explanation:
SLIDE BRITE is a revolutionary dewaxing and clearing reagent for histologic
techniques. It is a safe and effective alternative to xylene. It contains
no carcinogens,
no toxins, is odorless, and is classified as non-flammable and
non-hazardous. Its flash
point is above 140ºF (almost double of that of xylene).
A qualified laboratory that is certified by the State of California Health
Services has
performed toxicity screening. SLIDE BRITE was designated non-hazardous on the
basis of aquatic toxicity; thus eliminating hazardous waste and exposure
to women of
child-bearing age to xylene and cancer-causing reagents.

It has non hazad shipping.
No orange smell.
does not have to be disposed of with hazardious chemicals.
non-toxic.
does not need to be stored in fire caninet.

The only draw back I can find is it becomes saturated alot easier than
xylene.
