If you are talking about a regressive H&E stain then perhaps it was 1% HCL acid in 70% alcohol

That being said...I know back in the day when I was learning histology we used to make our own acid alcohol solution (now where I am had a butt load of Clearifier so I was using that up). I don't want to buy that stuff anymore as making the solution is way cheaper and works just as well. I want to say it was like a 1% acid solution in alcohol?? What was the acid? For some reason my brain says glacial acetic...but time has made me forget. Is the alcohol you mix it in 100% or something lower with a water content to it? Please help my alzheimers =) Happy Thursday!!
