We have used this product for many years as well. It has performed well without the hazards of xylene. We still use xylene on the processor for cleaning. I have not used it in special stains, only on the processor.

I have used this product for about 10yrs and love it. It has no fumes and no foul odor like the orange smelly stuff which gives me the worst headache. I use it in my processor. To deparrafinize and in my routine stain line. It works great with special stains to. I have not used it for IHC since the lab I work in does not deal with that test. It is non toxic as well. I purchase my supply from Chad at Mercedes Medical. P.S. There are few draw backs. I feel that the solution has to be changed more often than xylene as it becomes saturated faster. It also does not remove coverslip as well as xylene. Nicole Tatum, HT ASCP Hello.
