Hi Lori, Pretty much any xylene sub will work for processing tissues and staining. You may need to add additional time in the "xylene" steps, since the action of the subs isn't as quick as xylene. In addition, the substitutes are more intolerant of water. How humid is your lab? If it's dry, the

Hi Lori: Instead of xylene you can use isopropyl (also known as 2-propanol and propyl alcohol) and after sectioning you can use dishwasher soap before going directly to the staining procedure. After staining you need nothing but an oven to dry out the stained sections and go diractly to coversli
