[Histonet] Mayer's Hematoxylin

[Monfils, Paul]

Mayer's Hematoxylin can be purchased from Rowley Biochemical Institute, as
can a wide range of dyes (both dry powders and readymade solutions), which
in fact is the only thing they sell.  I have used their products for years
and have rarely run into any problems.  When I did have one problem with a
lot of orcein, they promptly dealt with it, sending me samples of other lots
at no charge until I found one that worked to my satisfaction.

> Hello to all,
>  
> I'm looking for a Pre-Made Mayer's Hematoxylin that we can use for our
> routine H&E staining procedure.  We make up our Mayer's Hematoxylin from
> scratch, but have recently been given permission to buy something that is
> pre-made.  We've tried Harris, but the doctors do not like the
> differentiation that take place with using that kind of hematoxylin.  (We
> stain by hand, so one tech's dip might be longer or shorter than another
> tech's dip in the differentiator.)  They are seeing variations in nuclear
> staining, no matter how careful we are with our "dips".  
>  
> I'm looking for something that stains tissues in 5-10 minutes and does not
> need differentiation.  Everything that I've tried so far is not working
> out to their satisfaction.  We use a Gill's III for our FS set up, and
> they do not want that either (for the routine H&E's).
>  
> Does anyone have any ideas or tips for me?  I'll be greatly appreciative.
