To conform to CAP and state regulations that require two unique patient
identifiers on a specimen at all analytical steps, and to cope with a
persnickety cassette labeller that is down more than up, we have taken to
writing the patient's first and last initials in the upper left corner of the
Margaret:
We uses 1% aqueous neutral red as red counterstain
with very good results.
Do not forget rinse slides at 10-15 secs in DW
with 1-2 drop of glacial acetic acid before neutral
red and after this, because this dye have red color
at pH 6.
Sincerely,
Maxim Peshkov,
Russia,
Taganrog.
