My mistake, it’s methanol….

No bueno for tissue?

Absolutely can be used on the tissue processor or for staining.

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

Hi all, stupid question (despite what all the college professors said, yes, I think there are some stupid questions and this is one of them, I should know)!

Someone dropped off a bunch of pure ethanol, they don't need it, I said I'd help dispose it... can't be used for processing can it? I seem to recall damaging some tissue many years ago when using ethanol... your thoughts?

Maybe just clean cycles on the processors...

Thanks,

Curt
