[Histonet] Bodian Stain

[Atoska S. Gentry]

Hello, a former colleague of mine who works in the only local human 
pathology lab is seeking input on the availability of a protocol for Bodian 
Stain other than the one in the AFIP manual. The reason they are seeking 
this is their lab is only equipped with one incubator and they routinely 
use it for drying slides at temperatures much higher than the required 
48hour, 37C incubation of the protargol. They are equipped with a microwave 
for staining but are not sure how to use it for drying of slides without 
trial and error. Any suggestions provided will be much appreciated. Thanks, 
Atoska p.s. our lab is equipped but we only process animal tissues here. 
We've provided them with the chemicals they were lacking to complete this 
stain.
