[Histonet] Mast Cell Stain other than Toluidine Blue

[Gayle Callis]

No, but I have two methods that are very simple, both are T blue.  Churkian 
Schenk is my favorite, but have also used a method nicely passed on to me 
by Liz Chlipala out of Frieda Carson's book, a pH 4.3 T blue that takes 3 
to 5 minutes, rinse with water, air dry the section and mount.  This one is 
really simple and fast.   If you want, I can forward both to you privately.
