We have used Formula 83 from CBG for years with excellent results.  We use it for processing and staining.  We also recycle it making the cost very low.

We used SubX but have switched to Clear-Rite 3 from Thermo Fisher with excellent results as well as cost savings.

Hello all,

My lab is looking into xylene substitutes, and I'd love some feedback on what other labs are using. We currently use SubX, but are there other items out there more economical?

Thanks,
Adrienne

<<<<Hello all,

We use Clear-Rite 3 made by Richard Allan and is purchased at Cardinal.  I do not think it is very expensive we buy in a case of 4 gallons.  It does a decent job for clearing in the processor and de-paraffinizing slides, but we do coverslip out of xylene at the end of the stain line.  Actually we never tried to coverslip out of it Clear-Rite 3 so can not honestly give you a critique in ref to that.  We keep both on hand. Xylene for machine cleaning and coverslipping and Clear-Rite 3 for processing and de-paraffinizing. I like it better than Americlear and ProPar. http://www.cardinalhealth.com/us/en/distributedproducts/ASP/C4405-20.asp?cat=physician
