[Tony Henwood (SCHN)]

Try 1-2% Ethyl green in acetate buffer (pH4) - will give you green nuclei (of course)

Hi Everyone,
 
We are currently running some alk phos staining protocols with a fast red chromogen.  My pathologist would like to use something other than Hematoxylin as a counterstain.  What does everyone recommend? 
 
Thanks,
Kim
