We originally used the Shandon instant hematoxylin and then when we were told that it would be backordered until at least fall, if not later we ordered a case (4 bottles) of hematoxylin 7211 the signature series hematoxylin from Richard Allen, I went though the validation process for it and then went to order it and was told the phoenix blue was our option now. When I called Richard Allen about it, I was told that hematoxylin would be backordered and the shortage would be until- they were thinking late fall.

This one caught my eye for sure.  I use Richard Allen hematoxylin for
routine and frozen sections and I haven't been having a problem getting
it nor have I heard anything about it not being available or being
substituted with something else.  I never even heard of Phoenix blue and
it would require lots of testing on my end before I'd even consider
switching.  So what's the story, is any of this true??

 Hello all, I know that this has been hot topic as of late and all was
good in my lab until yesterday when I was told that Richard Allen was no
longer shipping hematoxylin. Phoenix blue (sp?) is now being shipped as
the substitute. I was wondering if anyone is already using this product
and if they have any thoughts or helpful hints about it. Thanks a bunch-
grateful for any help!
