[Histonet] Speed Up Luxol Fast Blue Stain?

[Steven E. Slap]

Dear HistoNetters

Jorddan, if you have access to a laboratory 
microwave, you can preheat the Luxol fast blue 
solution to 60°C, then place your slides in the 
preheated solution and microwave at 60°C for 2 
hours.  Use stirring or agitation.

best regards,
