[Histonet] Calcium

[Ian Montgomery]

            This is a subject that was discussed several weeks ago, calcium
staining. I'm staining culture cells that have been induced to produce
calcium. So far I've been using alizarin red but with mixed success. I
intend trying von Kossa but it's been a long time and then on lumps of bone.
Has anyone tried the technique on culture cells and do they have any hints
and tips?

Ian.
