[Histonet] alkaline phosphatase

[Bonnie Whitaker]

Martin,
There are other alk phos chromogens available such as NBT/BCIP which yields
a blue-black color product, and Vector has several chromogens for HRP,
including a brick red, a purple, and it seems like some others.  I
personally like using the brick red HRP and the blue-black AP chromogens.
If you want to use 2 HRP protocols you can do as Kathleen suggested.

Yes, use plain DAB for your first AB and DAB nickel sulfate for your 
second. The procedure takes 4 days because you do them one at a time 
(with overnight incubation) You get brown for one and blue black for the 
other. Anyway, that is what we do.
