Marilyn,
I don't believe recycled xylene is the problem. I always used it.
But,, you may want to send a sample out to the manufacturer of the recycler
and have them analyze it. I would do this periodically, Sometimes the
program has to be adjusted.
Also, for biopsies I always had a shorter processing program. I was
fortunate to have a Shandon processor with four processing modules.

Subject: Nuclear Bubbling Revisited
Nuclear bubbling continues to be a problem with our prostate needle
biopsies. Prior consensus of the Histonetters was overwhelmingly -
Excessive Heat. We adjusted the drying oven for slides, so excessive heat
shouldn't be our problem. Paraffin temperatures are the norm. I heard
through the (pathologist) grapevine, that someone said recycled xylene can
cause this. Can this be so? (We do used recycled xylene). How/Why?
Is
there a solution?
Any other ideas?.......And why so selective with pnb's ? Is this a male
plot?
