[Histonet] Re: Weigert's Iron Hematoxylin

[Blundon, Kimberly]

Hi Histonetters,

 

I have a quick question regarding Weigert's Iron Hematoxylin and Gill's
3 Hematoxylin. One of the guys here thinks that we can interchange these
2 stains. I am attempting to perform a Masson Trichrome stain and it
calls for Weigert's Iron Hematoxylin. This person in my lab says to just
use Gill's Hematoxylin in place of the Weigert's stain. Is this right?

 

Thanks for your help
