Re: Reagent Recycling
We currently
recycle alcohol, xylene and clear-rite. You cannot recycle alcohol
contaminated with xylene, but with our system we are able to recycle xylene and
clear-rite contaminated with paraffin. It is not very time consuming, but
very frustrating when the end product is contaminated . . . not the fault of the
instrument, but the person dumping the reagents into the waste collection
carboy. We don't seem to have any problems with the quality or recycled
versus fresh, and the savings are wonderful.

We are looking into a recycler for alcohol, xylene, and
formalin. How do current users of recyclers feel about their unit? Is the
quality really as good as new reagent? I understand you can't recycle alcohol
contaminated with xylene. Are you able to recycle xylene contaminated with
paraffin? Does the recycling process really require little tech time or do you
find it more time-consuming than you would want it to be? Thanks for your
feedback.
