Subject: [Histonet] SDH protocol

Fellow Neuromuscular Labs!!
I am in need of a Great SDH protocol.  I have been struggling with this stain for a long time.  I purchase new NBT and it works pretty well for a few weeks.  Then is starts fading into nothing within 1month.   I use a protocol of on the WashU website (St. Louis MO). It works better than any other I have tried... but still very pale, However my pathologist said that the SDH's in the past have always been more blue.  Mine come out purple/ pink.  I have also used the protocol from past histologist in this lab with no luck.  I must be missing some small technique that isn't written in the protocol.  Please help!!!
