[Histonet] Re: mucicarmine

From:"Johnson, Teri"

Dorothy,

It's been a while since I've done one, but I remember we got our best
results using Weigert's Iron Hematoxylin staining first, and then using
Sigma's mucicarmine stain. I don't quite remember if we used it
undiluted, but I think we did use it more concentrated than their
protocol called for. Where I trained, we made up the mucicarmine stain
and used undiluted stock to get brighter pink/rose staining results.
