IN THE EVENT OF COLD WEATHER, allow solutions to return to room temperature and SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE.

These solutions are made from certified dyes (when applicable).

FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE ONLY.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE: Pour solutions into three separate coplin jars. Place slide in Sol. I for 10 seconds. DO NOT AGITATE. Place in Sol. II for 10 seconds. DO NOT AGITATE. Place in Sol. III for 10 seconds. DO NOT AGITATE. For adequate rinsing, dip slide in and out of Sol. III approximately 3 - 4 times. Allow to dry. NOTE: Less time in Sol. III provides a more alkaline (blue) stain; increase time for a more acidic (red) stain.

NOTE: Due to the variations in the oxidation of a methylene blue stain, our Wright, Wright Giemsa and May-Grunwald Giemsa stain products are offered with a matched buffer solution of specific pH in order to obtain consistent and uniform staining characteristics from lot to lot. As a result, we recommend our matched buffer solution be used for obtaining optimum results. However, stain and buffer are available separately.
