[Histonet] Slide Brite

[Burton, Lynn]

We have used this product for many years as well. It has performed well without the hazards of xylene. We still use xylene on the processor for cleaning. I have not used it in special stains, only on the processor.

I have used this product for about 10yrs and love it.  It has no fumes and
no foul odor like the orange smelly stuff which gives me the worst
headache. I use it in my processor. To deparrafinize and in my routine
stain line. It works great with special stains to. I have not used it for
IHC since the lab I work in does not deal with that test. It is non toxic
as well.

I purchase my supply from Chad at Mercedes Medical.

P.S. There are few draw backs. I feel that the solution has to be changed
more often than xylene as it becomes saturated faster. It also does not
remove coverslip as well as xylene.
