[Histonet] Warthin-Starry, microwave Dieterle substitute?

[Bernice Frederick]

All,
Sigma also sells controls as well as their kit. I've used it in the
microwave. I actually had to perfect the kit on smears from the VD clinic.
Fat chubby criiters let me tell you! At least they were highly visible.

I would be cautious before using Nexus for Steiner stains. I would do
several
comparison runs against a manual Steiner with well known controls and
different
types of controls if you have them available. I used to purchase a
spirochete
control form Newcomer and we had a Bartonella control that we made.

Sigma sells a modified steiner kit. Can be used standard as well as
microwave. Ventana has one for the Nexus.

Is there a stain currently being used to replace  Warthin Starry and/or
Dieterle?  We do VERY few and are concerned about reagent costs? 

Thanks.
