[Histonet] Turnbull's Blue

[Lee & Peggy Wenk]

Turnball blue (i.e., Schmorl stain) demonstrates argentaffinic components,
such as melanin or argentaffin cells in the GI tract.

Prussian blue (i.e., the iron stain) demonstrates iron (hemosiderin).

What are you trying to demonstrate?

Is anyone performing the Turnbull's Blue Iron stain?  If so, what type of
control do you use.  We are having a difficult time finding a good control
in order to get the stain approved in our lab.  Also, if anyone has some
tips for the procedure they would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you
