RE: [Histonet] Stain for H. Pylori
We
routinely do the Alcian Yellow/Tol blue for H.pylori and the Pathologists love
it because of the better colour contrast of the blue bacteria on a yellow
background, compared to say a Giemsa for instance (blue on
blue).
The
only problem at the moment is that production of Alcian Yellow has stopped
apparently, so it's difficult if not impossible to order new stock of the
stain.

Hello everyone,
Has anyone done a Toluidine blue/Alcian yellow stain for H. Pylori?
If so how do the Doctors like it? Or, what other stains are you
doing for that. I am trying to get away from the Genta!! Thanks in
advance
