Sheila, You might want to talk to the Leica rep. My guy was here a couple of weeks ago and they have a xylene sub and a mouting media that plays nicely with it. I don't recall the name of the product, but it might be worth talking to him about it.
Good Luck!

I'm looking for recommendations for a xylene substitute for our processing and staining. We have two VIP's and a Leica stainer. We use Permount for coverslipping (manually with glass). Does anyone use a xylene substitute that you would recommend for this combination? Thank you!
