[Histonet] Mallory PTAH and Zenkers

No, you would not have to do the iodine and sodium thiosulfate step if you
fix/post-mordant in something other than mercury.

If you want, fix the tissue in formalin, process/embed/section as usual, and
then postmordant in Bouin at 60 degree C for 1 hour before staining. Same as
doing a trichrome. Wash in running water afterwards until the yellow color
is gone. Stain with PTAH. Works great.

Hello, I have a question about the Mallory's PTAH.  If I use the zenkers
without mercuric chloride do I still need to use Gram's iodine and
sodium thiosulfate?  I assume not but need to be sure.



Thanks for the help.
