[Histonet] counterstain for fast red

2011-11-14 Thread Kim Merriam
Hi Everyone,
 
We are currently running some alk phos staining protocols with a fast red 
chromogen.  My pathologist would like to use something other than Hematoxylin 
as a counterstain.  What does everyone recommend? 
 
Thanks,
Kim

Try 1-2% Ethyl green in acetate buffer (pH4) - will give you green nuclei (of 
course)
