[Histonet] Sirius Red

[John Kiernan]

You'll find brief instructions for the picro-sirius red method for collagen in nearly every histological techniques book published since about 1970. A Google search for "sirius red vendor" brings up 484 hits, though not all are for vendors. It's important to get the correct dye (C.I. 35780, Direct red 80). For a thorough discussion of how to use the method intelligently, see L. Junqueira et al 1979. Histochem. J. 11: 447-455.
