This kit includes a 20 minute microwave procedure and the traditional one hour and forty-five minute procedure. For a lower hazard alternative without Bouin’s Fluid that provides similar results, try the MasterTech Masson’s 2000 Trichrome Stain Kit. Biebrich Scarlet/Acid Fuchsin and Aniline Blue serve as the primary stains, producing red cytoplasm, intercellular fiber, keratin, and muscle, blue collagen and mucus with purple to black nuclei, counterstained by Weigert’s Hematoxylin.
