[Histonet] Retic Poll

[Michelle Bell]

It’s been a while, but I got the best results with the Chandler Kit from American Mastertech.  Funny story: I was working at a large reference lab when I was preparing for the HT exam.  This was when we still did a practical (dating myself😂).  I HATED our relic stain protocol, so I bought myself the kit from AM. I did my slide for my registry, and when the pathologist saw the stain, he immediately made the manager change our procedure because the results were so much better! Now, Statlab bought out AM, so I am unsure if the kit is still available, but it’s worth a look :)
Best of luck!

Hi Techs - For those of you performing a Manual Retic Stain -
What method do you use?  And do you use a kit?  Or make your own regent components?
Thanks, in advance, for the information.
