[Histonet] ClearRite

[Jennifer MacDonald]

For many years we used ClearRite, both on our tissue processor and for 
staining.  We are now using a similar product from another company.  We 
did not see any problems with our IHC with the use of this product.  We do 
not do molecular testing.  We found it to be far superior to the limonenes 
and much safer to use than xylene.  Coverslipping is another issue.  Not 
all mounting media are compatible with the aliphatic hydrocarbons.  We 
have good success with Permount.

Anyone using ClearRite (xylene replacement) for tissue processing?  If so, 
what's been your experience?  Any effect on IHC or molecular testing? 
Thank you!
