Dear all! Does anyone out there use this method for mesocolon clearing with aceton? I heard only a few facts about it and would like to hear about personal experience. The mesocolon is first fixed in NBF, then put in pure aceton, then treated with a teasing roller and put in a "pipe" with holes.

One thing to take into consideration that many of the xylene substitutes take longer to clear than xylene. You may have to adjust your processing schedule. We use a xylene substitute with success. "Marcum, Pamela A" Sent by: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu 03/07/2012 07:58 AM T

Re: [Histonet] RE: xylene substitute for processing

I have been using Clear Rite 3 for years on animal tissue in a VIP for overnite processing and it is great. I get it from Fisher. There has never been a problem with special stains but I use xylene on my stain lines. Andi Grantham On Mar 7, 2012, at 8:35 AM, Masood, Sameena Kathryn wrote: >

[Histonet] RE: xylene substitute for processing

Some people have issues with the smell and the other option is Anatech ProPar or Richard Allan Thermo non-aliphatic hydrocarbon subs which have very low odor and are also about the same price. We can't use the orange smell in our lab as some people have allergies and others just don't like it.

[Histonet] RE: xylene substitute for processing

Kelly, Histo-Clear can be directly substituted for Xylene at every point in processing and staining. It's completely non-toxic (even has a food grade rating), is made from oranges, and smells delicious. You don't have to work in a hood and it seems to make tissue less brittle than Xylene also.

RE: [Histonet] replacing tween in the secondary hyb.solution

Tween indeed facilitates the dispersion. I was testing the Ventana autostainer and I got some inconsistent staining with patchiness of certain features instead of a homogeneous staining. I checked the presence and absence of tween to check if it somehow interferes with the liquid coverslip of V
