Hi Netters.
  I have a grad student looking for alcian yellow, can't seem to find it in any of the catalogs.  Is it still available for purchase?  He wants to do a Alcian Blue/Alcian Yellow  (AB/AY) stain, ref.: Ravetto, 1964 to differentiate between  sulfated and carboxylated acid mucopolysaccharides in freshwater muscles.  Are there any substitute stains that would work? =20
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks for all the cartilage stain suggestions.
