Hi all,

I would appreciate any information on the availability of eriochrome black
T dye.  I am trying to find a way to suppress fluorescence due to collagen
and I came across a reference that uses this dye as a counterstain so that
an immunofluorescence specimen viewed with FITC filters will show red
collagen fibers.

Also if anyone can suggest a way of suppressing fluorescence of collagen in
frozen sections I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks,

Cora Bucana
