Terri,
I have a collagen staining procedure which does not use picric, it uses
Azure B.

I was wondering if anyone on this list had any
protocols or advice on a method of collagen staining
which doesn't involve picric acid.  The institution I
work for is extremely against my lab using this
chemical.  Many of the protocols I have come across
either include saturated picric acid solution or
Bouin's solution.  Any suggestions?

                                   Thank you,
                                   Terri Herbst
