RE: re HID/AB pH 2.5

Have any of you tried the Shikata's Orcein/AB stain instead. Definitely easier and SAFER to do.

Cursed be all those pathologists!  I'm having the same problem with mine.
So far I haven't had any luck getting the right kind of staining(my nuclei
turn green).  If anyone could pleaaaaasssseeee forward me a copy of a good,
proven, often immitated but never duplicated, the kind of procedure to take
home to meet mother,  I will be forever grateful.

Hi,
Is anyone familiar with this special stain "High Iron Diamine/alcian blue pH
2.5" ? If so, can you share your protocol with me. My pathologists are very
interested in this one.
Thanks,
Kim Saunders, HT
