  "text": "Follow the procedure described in the general instructions and proceed as follows:\nTo the specimen contained in the conical flask, add 100 ml of benzyl alcohol per gram of specimen. Insert the stopper, secure the flask to the shaker so that it is immersed in the water-bath, kept at 52 ± 2 °C, and shake for 20 minutes at this temperature.\n(Instead of using a mechanical shaker, the flask may be shaken vigorously by hand).\nDecant the liquid through the weighed filter crucible. Add a further dose of benzyl alcohol in the flask and shake as before at 52 ± 2 °C for 20 minutes.\nDecant the liquid through the crucible. Repeat the cycle of operations a third time.\nFinally pour the liquid and the residue into the crucible; wash any remaining fibres from the flask into the crucible with an extra quantity of benzyl alcohol at 52 ± 2 °C. Drain the crucible thoroughly.\nTransfer the fibres into a flask, rinse with ethanol and after shaking manually decant through the filter crucible.\nRepeat this rinsing operation two or three times. Transfer the residue into the crucible and drain thoroughly. Dry the crucible and the residue and cool and weigh them.",
