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

FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE ONLY.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR MIDAS, HEMASTAINER, AND CARL ZEISS HMS SLIDE STAINERS: Fill Station 1 with Traxstain Fixative. Fill Station 2 with Traxstain (Wright, Wright Giemsa or May- Grunwald Giemsa stain). Fill station 3 by mixing 80 ml of Traxstain with 420 ml of Buffer. Station 4 is a rinse station as provided for the instrument. Fill station 5 with Traxstain Buffer.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR MIDAS II, AND SAKURA RSG-61 SLIDE STAINERS: Fill Station 1 with Traxstain Fixative. Fill Station 2 with Traxstain (Wright, Wright Giemsa or May-Grunwald Giemsa Stain). Fill station 3 by mixing 50 ml of Traxstain with 250 ml of Buffer. Station 4 is a rinse station as provided for the instrument. Fill station 5 with Traxstain Buffer.

--------------SUGGESTED TIMES-------------

NOTE: These are median times and may be adjusted for desired intensity, keeping a ratio of 1:2 for Station 2 and 3. The rinse water must be within the range of pH 6.5 to 7.2. In order to obtain proper staining results, we suggest using the minimum time setting for this station, i.e. 5 seconds. Stain color is adjusted by increasing or decreasing time in Station Number 5 (Traxstain Buffer); less time, more alkaline (blue), more time, more acidic (red).

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.
