[Histonet] HRP Substrates

[Constance McManus]

I'm using NOVA Red and it works great.  It seems to be about like AEC -- has a rich, deep red color  -- except that it goes through alcohols and histoclear nicely. The data sheet states that it needs to be prepared in glass distilled water, which I do.  I don't know what would happen if you used regular DI, I imagine it would form a precipitate or not be as rich a red color.  It also needs to be prepared within a couple of minutes before using.  But it's not difficult to use and I highly recommend it.
