Hi all,

I am doing an H&E workshop next month and one of the Hx counterstains I will be including is Erythrosin-eosin (see below).
This counterstain is the preferred by some of our major Histopathology departments in Australia.

The issue I have is that I cannot find a reference for this variant of the H&E.

Anyone have any ideas?


Eosin Y (CI 45380)                             5g
Erythrosin B (CI 45430)                   5g
Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate     1.25g
Magnesium Sulphate                     10g
Distilled water                                   500ml
