Hello all,

Can anyone tell me that xylene substitute can be used on the automated
coversliping (SAKURA)?
We still use Xylene in our laboratory.

We use Americlear, it comes in 1 gal containers and  I am not sure on
the cost.  We tried switching to Xylene on our processor and could not
tell a difference so we went back to Americlear.
