We don't use it for processing but we use it at the end of the stain set up and coverslip out of it using Clearium mounting medium (it is misable with alcohol). We did it to keep out fingers out of xylene as it is a neurotoxin.

I have had great results with isopropyl alcohol for some tissues, but I wanted to know if there are any pitfalls to using it exclusively for processing. I've noticed that isopropyl is much cheaper than ethanol, so it leads me to wonder why ethanol is so prevalant for dehydration.
