Histonians,
    Our Cyto lab has been using HemoDe for over 10 years. Last year we
purchased a still to recycle the Cytology HemoDe and the Histology xylene. The
still works well, but the Cyto aids complain that the smell of HemoDe is much
stronger when it's reclaimed than when purchased.
   I've talked to the maker of the still, and they think it could be that
we're distilling off an ingredient that keeps the smell down.
   I talked to the make of HemoDe and they say that any ingredient left behind
through distillation would only make the smell stronger.
    Any ideas?
