[Histonet] blocking aldehydes for staining

We are trying to use Congo Red to stain starch for confocal, but it is staining everything. The sample is condensed milk and very soft without fixation. Does anyone know of a good method to block the glutaraldehyde so that the Congo Red will only stain the starch? Bill McManus

d starches such as amylose pectin and other cross-linked starches with a single dye? If not, are there other multiple dyes that would be worth a try. We are not budgeted to produce antibodies at this time, maybe later. Bill McManus Western Dairy Center Utah State University [EMAIL
