[Histonet] Faster luxol fast blue

[Gayle Callis]

Go to Sakura Finetek Histologic website, and search for Diane Sterchi's
Modified Kluver-Barrera for Melin and Nerve Cells, unfortunately, I do not
have the date nor issue.  Sections at 10 um thick.  

She did it in 3 hours following a preheating of Luxol fast blue to 60C,
stain for 3 hrs in this hot LFB,  rinse in 95% ETOH to remove excess stain,
rinse in distilled water, begin differentiation in 0.05% lithium carbonate,
continue this step in 70% ethanol, until gray and white mater are
distinguished.  This step is FAST! rinse well in distilled water,
counterstain. 

Good luck.

requires that slides be left in the Luxol fast blue overnight.  Is there a
way to speed that step up?
