[Histonet] Re: Millers Elastin Stain HELP

[Prior, Andrew]

Julia ,

You can find Miller Elastin Stain on the UK Version of the Raymond Lamb
website ( http://www.ralamb.net/ ), but for some reason it's not on the US
version of the site. You may be able to get it shipped across or just hassle
R A Lamb in the States to sell you some.

Hope this helps

Andrew
