[Histonet] Yellow Xylene

[Terri Braud]

The cause of a yellow tint to newly purchased Xylene could be a plethora of things but to me it is a clear sign of either degradation or contamination and I would not use it.  Terri

We have received a shipment of xylene of the same lot number.
We have noticed that some xylene bottles are " yellow". We use it both for tissue processing and staining.
Has anyone encountered any processing or staining issues with oxidized xylene?
