Re: [Histonet] Retic Stain
Barbara,
Is your Retic staining too light? We leave our slides
in ammoniacal silver longer, and tone in gold chloride
for a shorter period of time. Our procedure is as
follows:
0.5% Potassium Permanganate - 1 minute
Wash in tap water - 2 minutes
2% Potassium Metabisulfite - 1 minute
Wash in tap water - 2 minutes
2% Ferric Ammonium Sulfate - 3 minutes
Wash in tap water - 2 minutes
Rinse in deionized water
Ammonium Silver Nitrate - 3 minutes
Rinse in deionized water - 10 seconds
20% Formalin - 3 minutes
Wash in tap water - 3 minutes
0.2% Gold Chloride - 30 seconds to 1 minute
Rinse in deionized water
2% Potassium Metabisulfite - 1 minute
2% Sodium Thiosulfate - 1 minute
Wash in tap water - 2 minutes
Dehydrate, clear, and mount
