  • Title: Alcian blue method for the museum display of squamous metaplasia in the larynx.
    Author: Watt J, Gregory I, Stell PM.
    Journal: J Pathol; 1975 Oct; 117(2):89-92. PubMed ID: 775036.
    Abstract:
    The Alcian blue method is described as an alternative to the use of pyronin for the immediate post-mortem demonstration of squamous in the larynx. Alcian blue-stained specimens can be stored for prolonged periods in 4 per cent formaldehyde in normal saline without loss of contrast and used as wet specimens for teaching purposes. Alcian blue-stained larynges showing squamous metaplasia can be permanently mounted for museum display in either Kaiserling's or Wentworth's fluids.
