Is nuclear fast red the only counter stain for Prussian blue stain?  I have a Masson's trichrome kit and was wondering if the Bierbech Scarlet could be a counterstain.  I won't be doing the iron stain very often at all so I am trying to keep dry reagents on hand to make up as needed so they do not expire so quickly.  Thanks!
