UNOFFICIAL

Hello histonetters!

I realise that this has been asked a lot, but cannot find a good link for the 
comparisons of each. I am charged with looking into converting our lab to go 
xylene free. We don't want to go down the limonene path, so that leaves the 
isopropyl alcohol method, or the aliphatic hydrocarbon xylene substitution 
(Leica Sub-X etc).

Looking for opinions from each camp if possible, on how easy or hard it was to 
change procedures. Was there much trial and error in changing the processing 
protocols with the aliphatics? Any pitfalls I should look out for?

Any input greatly appreciated.
