It was good hear that RBS was being picked up and sold by Dorn and Hart, but you can also make this up yourself in the laboratory. Cathy Sanderson/Mayton found a way to make this up easier than the original formula and Surgipath manufactured it.
The original name was Stevenels Blue and the original publication for staining PMMA embedded bone: Maniatopoulos C et al (1987) An improved method for preparing histological sections of metallic implants. International J or Oral and Maxillofacial Implants 1:(1):31 It can be made up in the laboratory although time consuming and messy. We devised a way to make it up as quickly as possible. I will be happy to send the recipe and preparation method to anyone who needs it privately. Cathy did us all a favor by making this up in some proprietary way so we could purchase it easily. Gayle M.
