Patsy, 
I agree with you. 

I have had an overwhelming response from histonetters, that were
interested in the Homemade Tyramide. I wanted all to know that I am not
ignoring your requests.

There are some interesting recent articles out though that tells you how
to make your own, but according to the folks at NEN, even if you come
across one of those articles, it is infringement for you to follow the
instructions and make your own and do your own research without
permission and a license from them to even be able to use it in your lab.

Again! I apologize for the mix-up and I am not ignoring your e-mails, I
just have my hands tied so to speak and cannot give this recipe out
because of legal reasons.
