I understand the reluctance to discontinue the use of the xylene in the
tissue processor for FDA compliance, but why not change the solvent for
staining

Shelley,
Perhaps this employee should look into other job opportunities. The histo lab
is filled with chemicals that can cause sensitivity in those people who may be
prone to that. Unfortunately, some of the main players in the histo lab
(xylene formalin) are often the culprit, but they

I suppose it would all depend upon which xylene substitute one uses - if one
switches to another that has a pungent odor such as the citrus based solvents -
there could be problems with that as well. I have

You are assuming that the decline in your sister lab was due to not using
xylene and you should never assume.
I would have taken several cases of mine, divided in two parts and given your
sister lab half, and viceversa with some of their cases
is a larger version of that type
of device, so it might work quite well.
Thanks for taking the time to respond,
Shelley

Can ya'll take this argument off-line? Obviously xylene is staying in
