I've used Richard-Allen's 7211 hematoxylin for a minute, and then their
clarifier 2 for minute, and finally blue with buffer.  That's three
steps, but it looked the best compared to other things I've tried.

Subject: [Histonet] Counterstain on Ventana stainers

Is anyone using a non-Ventana hematoxylin counterstain on their
immunostainers?  If so, what works best for you in terms of intensity
and stability.  Just looking at a bit of cost-cutting...
Thank you for your time!
