[Histonet] Xylene-free labs?

[MERTON,EMILY MACKENZI]

Hello,

How common are xylene-free labs in the histo world?  I worked for 3 years at a research service histology lab, and am now in a research lab.  I miss histology, and have considered getting certified so that I can have a career in it, but my sensitivity to xylene has made me hesitate.  Is there any movement towards more labs being xylene-free, or might it be difficult to find employment?

Thank you,
