Alcohol Recycling System Questions
- Q. How does the ARS work?
- The ARS recycles your dirty alcohol by allowing the dirty alcohol to run
through the cartridge into the clean recycled container. The ARS removes the
stains, dyes and cellular debris, returning the same volume and
concentration of alcohol that was put through it. The ARS requires very little
space, no electricity (only gravity), and little tech time to operate.
- Q. How many times can I re-use the recycled alcohol?
- You will check the recycled alcohol's concentration with the hydrometer we provide
you, to
determine the specific gravity (percentage value) of the alcohol. If the alcohol is within the
proper range, it can be used indefinitely.
- Q. What types of alcohol can be used with this system?
- Virtually any type of alcohol can be used. Each concentration will have its own ARS; example: one ARS for 100% and an additional ARS for 95%. This situation can be simply
accommodated to meet your
specific needs.

Xylene Recycling Pads Questions
- Q. How do the Xylene Recycling Pads work?
- The Xylene Pads help remove water and alcohol from your xylene and or
xylene substitutes used in your stain line process. The XP simply sit in the
bottom of your stain line boats while your samples are processed. The XP's
are periodically removed from the boats and dried in order to be reused. The
XP can be used up to one year or longer before replacement.

Formalin Recycling System Questions
- Q. How does the FRS work?
- The FRS recycles your dirty tissue processor formalin by removing residual
material as the formalin runs through the cartridge, returning formalin that
is ready to go back into the processor.
- Q. What type of formalin can be used?
- Any type of buffered Phosphate or Zinc formalin, as well as alcoholic formalin
from the tissue processor can be used on the system. However, each type of
formalin requires its own system.
- Q. Does the recycled formalin need to be 'rebuffered'?
- If you are recycling 10% neutral buffered formalin, the FRS will give you
back clean 10% neutral buffered formalin. However the formalin and pH should
be checked with an assay kit that we can provide.
