Thanks to everyone who has responded. The reason that the user wants to go with OPAL dyes rather than "home brew"is because this is for a large clinical trial, with tissues to be stained on an automated stainer and so they were wanting to use a validated, self contained option designed for the machine. If anyone is interested in the partial curves we have calcumated from spectral scanning opal520/570/650/690, let me know and I can send over the leica spectral files. There is quite a variation in curve width and shoulder size from the 4 we have looked at.
