[Histonet] Sanderson's Rapid Bone Stain and what you can do about it

[gayle callis]

It was good hear that RBS was being picked up and sold by Dorn and Hart, but
you can also make this up yourself in the laboratory.  Cathy
Sanderson/Mayton found a way to make this up easier than the original
formula and Surgipath manufactured it.  

 

The original name was Stevenels Blue and the original  publication for
staining PMMA embedded bone:  

 

Maniatopoulos C et al  (1987)  An improved method for preparing histological
sections of metallic implants.  International J or Oral and Maxillofacial
Implants 1:(1):31 

 

It can be made up in the laboratory although time consuming and messy.  We
devised a way to make it up as quickly as possible.  I will be happy to send
the recipe and preparation method to anyone who needs it privately.  Cathy
did us all a favor by making this up in some proprietary way so we could
purchase it easily.
