[Histonet] India Ink for inking surgical margin borders

[Barry Rittman]

One group of dyes that I do not believe has ben mentioned is the Procion
group of dyes. These are chloro-s-triazone dyes that are used extensively
in textile dyeing and are resistant to all the solvents of which I am aware
and will survive processing through paraffin wax.  Readily available at
many art stores.
They come in a wide variety of colors .   They interact with proteins.
Their drawback is that many are fluorescent (and were originally intended
as markers for hard tissue growth due to their solvent resistance).
