[Histonet] question

[Robyn Vazquez]

Karen,
I just put a good scoop of good ol' baking soda, instead of ammonia
water.  Never a problem.

Dear Fellow Histotechs,

Our one pathologists'constantly complains that our frozen section
slides
are not blue enough.  We've tried leaving it in the Hematoxylin 2
longer
& we even switched from ammonia water to Blue Buffer by Surgipath. 
I'm
asking what procedures and/or chemicals other labs use in their frozen
section staining area.  Thanks for any input.
