[Histonet] Uranyl nitrate

[Richard Cartun]

Our Safety people are asking us to stop using uranyl nitrate which I believe is used in our Dieterle and Reticulin histochemical stains.  Are there alternative staining protocols that do not use uranyl nitrate (forgive me because this is not my area of expertise)?  Thank you.
