[Histonet] A solution for a problem?

[Terri Braud]

Hi Histopeeps -
We are a small hospital lab, and perform a small number of special stains by hand using premade solutions.  Now, with little warning, our source (Polyscientific) for these reagents/stains has been sold.  The new company (StatLab) does not label the reagents with the chemical makeup, example:  "0.1% Nuclear Red Solution", they just have "Nuclear Red Stain" which may be 3% or 5%, certainly not what we have procedures/protocols for.
If you use premade special stain solutions, who is your favorite source?  Do you only purchase in kit form? Or do you have the capacity to purchase single bottles of solutions?  Do they have the percentages listed?
Signed: Confused scientist.
