In tissue processing, xylene is toxic and difficult to regulate end point (especially manual processing). mineral oil - isopropanol combination can be used effectively. but what processor uses this method? also can the mineral oil be recycled?

Most automated processors e.g Leica biosystems allow the use of less toxic alternatives like isopropanolol, and yes mineral oils can be recycled.

Thank you Ma'am, but how do we recycle mineral oil from mineral oil-isopropanol mixture?
