[Histonet] RE: goldners trichrome

[Prior, Andrew]

Ricki,
We've used this protocol in the past with some success on 15µm ground MMA sections. It was adapted from a Nottingham University method. As usual, you may need to tweak the times to suit your sections.
Good Luck.

Barbara,

I was asked to do a Goldners Trichrome in Methymethacylate embedded bone .
Do you have a good protocol for this or do you know where I could find one.

Thank you for any help you can give me.
