We use Clear-Rite 3 (Richard Allan Scientific 6901) from Fisher Scientific in our VIP processor and for staining. I am not familiar with Permount, but we use Richard-Allan Mounting Medium (4111; also available from Fisher Scientific) that is toluene based - works great in combination with Clear-Rite 3.

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!
