>From Dezna Sheehan's book:  Tests for Schiff reagent:  Chemical(AFIP). 
Pour 10 ml of 37-40% formalin into a watch glass.  To this add a few
drops of the Schiff reagent to be tested.  A good Schiff reagent will
rapidly turn a red-purple color.  A deteriorating Schiff reagent will
give a delayed reaction and the color produced will be a deep
blue-purple."

To all Histotechs:

Can someone provide me with the name of the indicator used to
determine
whether or not the primary staining solution used in the PAS procedure
is still viable?

          Thanks,
                 Jen
