routinely do the Alcian Yellow/Tol blue for H.pylori and the Pathologists love
it because of the better colour contrast of the blue bacteria on a yellow
background, compared to say a Giemsa for instance (blue on
blue).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

only problem at the moment is that production of Alcian Yellow has stopped

H.Pylori<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Hello everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> Has anyone done a Toluidine blue/Alcian yellow stain for H. Pylori?
If so how do the Doctors like it? Or, what other stains are you
doing for that. I am trying to get away from the Genta!! Thanks in
advance</DIV><BR><BR>
