Expected aim
Product for the preparation of: gynecological specimens, urine cytology, fine needle
specimens, sputum and bronchial washings, to be examined by optical microscopy.
Application
Cytoplasmic staining solution for Papanicolaou method.
For the execution of the staining method is required the use of reagents Papanicolaou
Harris hematoxylin and Papanicolaou OG6.
Principle
A highly selective blue nuclear stain, Harris’ hematoxylin, is combined with EA65
polychromic mixture, a subtle cytoplasmic stain which differentiates cyanophil cells from
eosinophil ones. The last ingredient is OG6 solution, which stains keratinized elements.
