Carolyn,
	In my experience, homemade always is far better than any commercially
prepared solution. At least you know how long the solution has been sitting
around and what's in it. We use Anapath's Schiff's from StatLab Medical
products 1-800-442-3573. In my opinion (and you know how everyone feels
about opinions) this is the closest to homemade that I saw. Once again, the
views of this author do not reflect the views of the employer.

I am comparing our  made in-home Schiffs stain with the commercially made
Schiffs.  Ours is clearly more vibrant then the Richard-Allen Schiffs. Is
there another brand that anyone is using that has good quality especially on
bone marrows? Also is there anything that can be added to the commerically
bought Schiffs that would make it more vibrant. Thanks
