[Histonet] Ethanol in tissue processing

[Jay Lundgren]

Most places use "reagent alcohol" which, from most suppliers, is a mongrel
blend of whatever is cheapest, and not even listed on the label. It's
usually made up of a blend of ethanol, methanol, and isopropyl.  Good luck
finding what the percentages are.  I've called one vendor before, and even
they couldn't tell me.
