Re: [Histonet] alcian blue and alizarin red
From: | Rene J Buesa (by way of histonet) |
Alizarin red was the standard procedure I used for calcium (carbonate /
phosphates) pretty much as descibed by Sheehan & Hrapchak [(1973):153-4]
The solution has to have pH adjusted to 4.1-4.3 and final dehydrating has
to be done with acetone (as ethanol will remove the stain).
Alcian blue is standard for mucosubstances [Luna,1968:163] but I never used
both combined.
Both procedures on sections of paraffin embedded tisusues.

Has anyone done alcian blue/alizarin red staining on tissue sections?
The protocols I've turned up seem to be for cleared tissue.
Thanks,
