Special Stains Manual
Open the Special Stains Manual
This manual was edited by Charles J. Churukian, B.A., HT, HTL (ASCP). Many of the methods were developed in our laboratory and have been published in various scientific journals. Several methods included in this manual utilize microwave irradiation. We have used low-priced microwave ovens with good staining results. This electronic version was developed by Pathology IT students Corey Walker and Yuehei Mao.
