[Histonet] Re: Filter Paper for Harris Hematoxylin

[Rick T.]

Karie,

 

Just a little input from a newbie.  I am researching stains and fixatives
for causes of error in one of my courses.  For the hematoxylin precipitate
attributed to inadequate filtration, I found a site that discussed this,
along with formalin pigment, mainly that sometimes precipitate that is
believed to come from the hematoxylin, actually can be caused by other
things.here is the site to check it out:

It may not be your filters.  Just a thought.
