We've always used 30 minutes and it has never failed. -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Sheila Adey Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2012 8:58 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Alcian Blue
Hi Everyone: Can anyone tell me why some Alcian blue procedures say 30 min in Alcian Blue and some say 10 min?Our control works well at 10 minutes but today I had a Dr. say that he expected a small amount of cells to stain and they didn't in an esophagus bx.So, now I'm wondering if b/c most of the procedures that I've read say 30 min, that's what would be best?
