[Histonet] Substitute Hematoxylin Dyes

[Thomas Jasper]

Hey Deanna,

We tested the Phoenix Blue here...just in case.  Pathologist feedback
was basically - it works, I can read it if I need to, not as crisp as
the H and E we run.
Just curious...are you unable to obtain your regular hematoxylin?  I was
under the impression that this whole shortage thing was going to come to
an end fairly soon.

Dear Netters,

What are you substituting for Hematoxylin?  I have narrowed it down to 2
I want to research; The Tango Stain, from Anatech and Phoenix Blue
Nuclear Stain, ordered from Fisher.  Is anyone familiar with either of
these stains?  If so, what are the positive/negatives about each one?
Are the results as comparable to the actual Hematoxylin dye?  I have
searched the net for images of a completed stain, to no avail.  Any
information will be greatly appreciated .

 

Thanks in advance.
