[Histonet] Import of staining reagents(richard allan/microm, now thermo)

[Truscott, Tom]

Hi Abijag, You can get MSDS forms from the company that explains any hazards associated with these reagents or any others. You can study these with your local distributor. These reagents are packed by RA to be safely shipped anywhere in this country and I would assume wouldn't need much extra to go to India. Tom Truscott

Hello histonetters,

This is with regard to import of Richard allan(microm, now thermo)staining reagents from US to India.

After facing several problems from stains manufactured by local manufacturers, we thought of switching over to RA stains.

The local distributor here is telling that these reagents(we are planning for procuring hematoxylin,eosin,bluing reagent and clarifier)are highly hazardous and need special packing(itself require 4000 US $).


Anybody having any sort of experience about this and having idea about how RA stains can be transported/used in other parts of the world.

Thanks for all your help
