Per industrial hygiene: our recycler should be operating at RH 10-15%
Any suggestions for our lab would be helpful: we are averaging 58% to 78%. In addition to the HVAC system (new air handler) we run 2 dehumidifiers and a portable air conditioner in our lab to maintain the current humidity levels. We use Formula 83 xylene sub and with quite a lot difficulty from April to September. At our highest you could watch the 100% ETOH change in front of our eyes, thus going thru a lot of reagent. We use H2Blu in the F83 to help absorb any moisture carry over in the stain line and change/rotate F83/100%ETOH frequently, sometimes several times a day. Lisa White, HT(ASCP) Supervisory HT James H.
