If you are using a good "cracking" recycling instrument the recycled xylene = 100% xylene and there cannot be any differences in behavior against "pure-unused-mew" xylene. That is what I always found for more than 15 years. René J.

I know it is a subject brought up over and over again but I need to get the opinion of my fellow Histo techs on processing tissue with recycled Xylene. Yes I know it saves money and is better for the earth, but is the quality of the tissue the same??? Coverslipping and clearing slides with it I can see being ok, but processing with it??? It is not 100% after recycling. I could use any thought on the subject.
