Jacqueline: Formula 83 is a naphthenic hydrocarbon that cannot be used with coverslippers, is recyclable and while some people have been using it for more than 20 years, others find it irritant.

I have searched the Histonet archives and found a lot of very positive reviews regarding Formula 83. I am wondering if anyone has encountered any issues with using Formula 83 on a stainer and then xylene on a tape coverslipper. Are there any miscibility issues? Are you soaking in xylene prior to tape coverslipping required? Any helpful hints/tips/tricks? Thank you in advance.
