[Histonet] What is the best xylene substitute for histology?

[Mac Donald, Jennifer]

We have used both XS-3 and Clear-Rite 3 with success in processing and staining.  They are not as efficient as xylene, so you will need to extend the times a bit to account for that.  We have had the most success with Permount.  No fading or incompatibility.

  EXTERNAL SENDER - Exercise caution with requests, links, and attachments.

Hello Histonetters

I'm hoping I can get some recommendations for the best xylene substitute for histology that could be used in the following:

  *   Tissue processor
  *   Deparaffinization
  *   Coverslipper
  *   Mounting media that works with that particular xylene substitute

Thank you for your help!

Kate
