Official basis (Research): Research and laboratory SOP use. JORC and NI43-101 are resource-reporting frameworks, not stain methods.
Procurement note: Staining supplies are separate from geological palynomorph extraction. Do not infer hazardous digestion or acetolysis reagents from the stain names alone.
