What are the Alternatives to Flammable Substances?
To reduce risks, some laboratories are adopting less flammable or non-flammable alternatives. For instance: 1. Isopropanol can be used as a safer alternative to ethanol in certain applications. 2. Safer Clearing Agents: Substitutes like limonene-based clearing agents are less toxic and flammable compared to xylene. 3. Non-flammable Fixatives: Alternatives to formaldehyde, such as glyoxal, can be used in some histological processes.
