If you can't get it from Polysciences who at least did it
till 1994 you could try Eastmann-Kodak or Koch Light which I
believe is now part of Genzyme. They may sell the compound,
but probably under a different name, so it might be
worthwhile calling them.

purified thiazole orange. This RNA dye which can be used for the
analysis of reticulated erythrocytes or platelets used to be available
by Molecular Probes many years ago. The only source we found now is
Aldrich. Approximately 90 % purity, however, does not seem optimal for
a dye which shows non-saturable staining characteristics?

We use RETIC-Count from BD which seems to work just fine.
