We used to use a product to clear lipaemic specimens which I think was
called LipoClean or possibly LipoClear. Our product was
1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane. This is no longer available for
this use in Australia because it is one of the more potent ozone-depleting
chlorofluorocarbons when released into the atmosphere. I looked up the
website for StatSpin but it did not identify the composition of the
product. If there is an environmentally safe alternative product available
then we would like to hear about it.
