Anyone know where I can get...

Stains for microscope slides? I'm looking for DiffQuik, Gentian or crystal violet, Gram's iodine (solution 2), gram's decolorizer (methylated spirits), and Gram's 9(saffranim) Gram's solution 3.

I don't need a lot, just enough to do some of my own birds fecal and blood work.

Try this website. http://www.dvmpharmaceuticals.com/about_dvm.html

This is a vet supply company. You may be able to purchase what you need from them. A quick google search came up with this company.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, Cathy. Unfortunately, you must be a licensed vet to purchase from them (sigh)

you know, I wish I could be sure where I saw that kind of stuff, think it was an auction site for bird only stuff, could have been www.scritches.com, I'll search some later when I get another chance and report back to you :icon_smil

Nancy - my mom is a vet tech and close friends with her boss - let me see if they can order you some. I can get back to you tomorrow.

Have you asked your vet? He/she might either know where you can get some or get some for you.

Nancy - I googles "science supplies", and found this site - has some stain sets, on page 5-7 of this link

And I talked to my mom- faxed her what you are looking for- I'll pm you. :icon_smil

Actually I emailed you instead

Melissa:

Thanks so much. I too did a Google 2 days ago and this one didn't come up. Most of the suppliers only want to sell in huge quantities for labs or to medical doctors and vets. I've sent for their catalog.
