tcnt3138 Hematoxylin Stain, Mayer Modified

Hematoxylin Stain, Mayer Modified is a ready to use

progressive hematoxylin that does not require filtering and does not

contain chloral hydrate or alcohol. Due to the progressive staining nature

of Mayer hematoxylin, over-staining is less likely and an acid alcohol

differentiation step is not required in the staining process. Mayer

hematoxylin is an excellent choice as a counterstain in

immunohistochemistry (IHC), amyloid and copper staining procedures.

The routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain is used for screening

specimens in anatomic pathology, as well as for research, smears, touch

preps and other applications. Its two primary coloring agents stain all

cellular material including nuclei (blue), and cytoplasmic elements (pinkred). Popularity of this stain is due, in large measure, to its simplicity,

ability to clearly demonstrate a wide variety of different tissue

components, dependability, repeatability, and speed of use.
