[Histonet] hematoxylin

[James Watson]

At the recent Biological staining Commission meeting in San Diego one of
the 2 manufactures of Hematoxylin powder that supplies all the
hematoxylin to the Vendors stated that due to a couple of reasons the
supply was depleted and by June or July they would be filling the back
orders to the hematoxylin vendors and that by this fall they would be
caught up.  They have taken measures to ensure that their supplies would
not be depleted again.  Some one from the BSC was supposed to post to
the Histonet an explanation of this.

I've had hematoxylin ordered since April and it is still on back
order...  Then I tried another source and Fisher told me they sent their
last 2 bottles to me..Don't know if that is true but there does indeed
seem to be a shortage.

Anyone know what the current status of the hematoxilyn shortage is??  Is
there even a shortage??  The supplier for my Histology hematoxilyn is
back
ordered to September and has given me a synthetic replacement to try.
My
cytology hematoxilyn supplier says they haven't heard of any shortage.
