Buy one with Phloxine in it.  It will make it more red and stronger...

Subject: [Histonet] Eosin

Hi Folks...I am hoping you all give me a little help.  Our Pathologists are complaining about our Eosin on the H&E's being weak. The funny thing is, is that it can go one

day to the next...one day it looks great...the next it is weak!!

I have already done some experimenting with...1) time tissue spends in Eosin.... 2) making sure that the  alcohols after Eosin are the proper concentrations....3)

 reducing the time that the tissues spends in the alcohols atfer Eosin... I have even gone as far as 4) increasing the rinse time in water after the decolorizing and bluing

 steps. 5) I have checked the pH of the water as well.

Any help and suggestions would greatly appreciated!!

Thanks Gang!!
