[Histonet] Calling all Pegasus Processor users

[Samantha Golden]

I was always taught that even with xylene sub you still needed the real deal for the cleaning. Also, with xylene sub, you need to clean more frequently. 

Another place to check would be to ensure that the xylene bottle has xylene and the alcohol has alcohol. I’ve see this clog tubing before. 

Good luck.
