[Histonet] Congo Red- Glass wool

[Morken, Timothy]

Fran, I've never heard of that. The books I looked at just say "filter" with no specific filter recommendations. 

For Sudan Black and Congo red  we use Whatman "Reeve Angel 802" (Pleated). It has a 15um pore size which is "coarse."
Fisher catalog number 09-901A

Can anyone tell me what kind and/or size glass wool do you use to for filtering the Working Congo Red solution right before use? From what I've read, it recommends not to use regular filter paper.

Thank you so much,
Fran Pearsall, ASCP
