Hi,

A few weeks ago, I read about using brazilin instead of hematoxylin for a 
red nuclear stain and somebody (I apologize, I don't remember anymore who) 
suggested to prepare the stain like hematoxylin by replacing henatoxylin 
with Brazilin. I did this with our protocol for Mayers hemalun (1 g 
hematoxylin in 250 ml ssium alum, then adding 8 ml glacial acetic acid and 
150 ml glycerol and water to 500 ml, oxidized with 0.1 g sodium iodide). 
Unfortunately the stain does not work.

Can anyone post a full protocol for this Brazilin stain.

Thanx in advance

Paul
