[Histonet] Von Kossa Stain for calcium

[Sherwood, Margaret]

We are a research lab and don't do a big volume of special stains.  We just
received a project for 35 slides that need Von Kossa Stain.
I acid-washed some small glass staining dishes-no rack required (in the past, we
only had a few requests).  

Can I run slides in plastic slide holders (24-place) in an acid-washed beaker
for the silver nitrate step?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Peggy
