Teri,
Do you prepare your own reagents in-house, or do you buy themcommercially?
If commercially, who do you get your kit from?  

I continue to use the 4% chromic acid in my GMS. I have not heardof using
Periodic acid as an oxidser for GMS, but I think I'll try it side by side
the usual sometime to compare the two.  I'm curious to see if there are any
differences.
