Nuclear Stains

Bluing Reagent

Is a pH-controlled solution for complete, effective bluing of hematoxylin in histological and cytological procedures.
Spec Sheet

Differentiating Solution (Acid Alcohol) - 70%

May be used in the removal of excess hematoxylin stain. Reagents contain 3% (v/v) hydrochloric acid in alcohol.

Differentiating Solution (Acid Alcohol) - 95%

May be used in the removal of excess hematoxylin stain. Reagents contain 3% (v/v) hydrochloric acid in alcohol.

Hematoxylin, For Automation

Larger picture

Produces a crisp blue nuclei. Hematoxylin, For Automation has been specifically formulated for situations in which a lighter blue nuclei is desired (IHC, etc.). This reagent is ideal for use with autostainers.

Hematoxylin, Mayer's (Lillie's Modification)

Produces a crisp dark blue nuclei. A traditional formulation that results in an excellent quality stain that is more intense than our Hematoxylin, For Automation (catalog# HAQ999). For optimal results, use in combination with Bluing Reagent (catalog# BRT999).

Nuclear Fast Red Solution (Enhanced Stability)

Larger picture

Nuclear Fast Red is a stain with histological applications. The newly formulated reagent has improved stability over current formulations allowing reagent to be stored at room temperature or 2-8° Centigrade. Current formulations tend to precipitate in cold temperatures such as experienced during winter shipping. In addition, most formulations develop a small amount of precipitate over extended periods of time. This new formulation completely eliminates the problems associated with exposure to cold and aging. As with our current formulation (NFR) this reagent is provided as a single component, ready-to-use solution. This product has been optimized to be stored at 2-25° Centigrade.
