Kathy, We use AmeriClear everywhere except on our enclosed tissue
processors. Since we do annual monitoring we feel the environment is safe
for all.

Good morning fellow histotechs,
Another few questions from Eastern Oregon. Do you have a
protocol for
pregnant histotechs? ? ? Are they allowed to continue to
work as usual?
The lab manager just presented me with an article that
xylene is a risk to
the unborn child. (like I don't know how dangerous our
chemicals are) And
wants me to investigate replacements for xylene. I tried
several
substitutes years ago and went back to xylene. Do you use
a xylene
substitute? Which one? How do you handle the concern for
the techs who
are in their child bearing years if you use xylene? Thanks
for your
expertise once again.
