Histonetters -
I was wondering if there was another stain (other than Nuclear Fast Red) 
that could be used as a counterstain for the iron stains?
My next question is - what can be done to prevent the white precipitate 
from adhering to the slides that have been in Nuclear Fast Red 
(Kernechtrot)Solution? I have had this problem with several batches of the 
stain - not just in this lab with these chemicals. I am sure that I am 
making up the solution correctly and just to be certain I had another tech 
make it up using the "recipe" from the green AFIP book (page 179). Still 
the same problem.
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated since this is driving me nuts!
Thanks!
Andi
