[Histonet] H-PAS and Modified Alcian Blue

[Hannen, Valerie]

Hi folks...
 I have two questions, the first being, can anyone tell me what a
"H-PAS" Stain is??
 
Second question has to do with a Modified Alcian Blue stain that is used
to enhance the intraoperative diagnosis of Sentinel Lymph Node
metastasis in Invasive Lobular Carcinoma. Is anyone doing this stain,
and if so, are you using the conventional Alcian Blue control slide? If
not, what are you using for the control?
 
Thanks in advance for any help that I can get with questions.
