Hematoxylin Staining Solution
A. Intended Use
Hematoxylin Staining Solution is mainly used for staining the nucleus.
B. Principle/Summary
The nucleus in the cell has a certain degree of acidity, and it has a strong affinity with the basic stain(hematoxylin), while the cytoplasm is on the contrary, which has a certain degree of basicity and a strong affinity with the acid stain(eosin). After cell smears or tissue sections are subject to hematoxylin-eosin staining, the nucleus will be stained blue-purple by hematoxylin, cytoplasm, muscle fibers, collagen fibers, etc. will be red in varying degrees, and red blood cells will be orange-red.
C. Main Compositions
Hematoxylin Staining Solution is mainly composed of Hematoxylin, Oxidant, Mordant, Ethanol, Acetic acid and Stabilizer.
D. Storage and Stability
Storage at 10℃-30℃, valid for 12 months.
E. Sample Requirements
Smears and sections must be fully fixed, and paraffin sections must be fully deparaffinized.
