Hello all. Cytology was told that the xylene substitute the= y were using for their Surepath paps was causing staining/artifact issues.& nbsp; They want to switch to using xylene in their area, but it is unventil= ated. Because of various reasons, their process can not be moved.&nbs= p; They are asking me for advice about what to do for fume control. I= was wondering if a good downdraft unit would be enough to handle the xylen= e fumes. They will have maybe 400 mL of xylene uncovered while covers= lipping their paps. Does anyone else have a similar set up? The= y share their area with micro and core lab and others are complaining about= fumes even though they have borrowed a mini-hood from us. Badge resu= lts are still pending.
