[Histonet] Orcein stain for fat in paraffin sections

[Megan Clarke]

Hi All

Hope that someone out there has this old stain procedure, an Orcein stain to stain for fat in paraffin sections. We had tissue erronously placed in formalin and subsequently processed. The pathologist would like to demonstrate fat using the orcein method.

Thanks
