According to Koss' Diagnostic Cytology and its Histopathologic Bases (1979),
100% methanol is equivalent to 95% ethanol which is equivalent to 95% reagent
(denatured) alcohol which is equivalent to 80% propanol which is equivalent to
80% isopropanol. So in theory, if you ran out of 95% reagent
I hope I've misunderstood but I want to clarify that the ASCP computer exam for
technicians and technologists is NOT inferior to those that "sat" for an exam
at their local medical school.
"Chances for cheating were eliminated at every turn." This still holds true
for the ASCP computer exam as

Jay,
I hope you are referring to the Thin Prep 2000 as being so user-friendly that

Thank you,
Amber
