[Jorge A. Santiago-Blay]

Dear Histonetters:


I am trying to purchase two stains:

1. Cresil etch violet (for nervous tissue) -

Have searched the web and rather than gamble, wish to know if I could
receive recommendations on good places to purchase this type of reagent.
Good customer service and affordable prices a must.

In both cases, do you know if these stains work on tissues preserved in
ethanol (70%), some of the tissues could have been preserved for years.

If you have constructive feedback, please feel free to email me at

Gratefully,

Jorge
