<x-tab> </x-tab>Think you
might have a wee problem here. Gurr's improved Giemsa stain, R.66 was
produced by George T. Gurr, a company which no longer exists. Whether
anyone still makes this variant of Giemsa I don't know. From his book,
Biological Staining Methods, seventh edition, 1963, George Gurr writes
that "this solution should be obtained ready prepared." So it
looks as if George had it in his own recipe book and it wasn't published,
although I would be interested if a reference was available.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Gurr's
buffer, nothing in his book, but from the techniques using R.66 it looks
as if it is simply distilled water buffered to pH 7.2.<br>

Does anyone know where I can purchase Gurr's Buffer and Gurr's
R-66? Does<br>
anyone have a phone number for BioMedical Specialites, I was given
their<br>
name but can't find a number or web-site?<br><br>
Thank You,<br><br>
