Counterstain in H&E

Supplier: Merck

Histosec® pastilles is an embedding medium for histology of samples of human origin. It is a paraffin enriched with polymers, also available without the addition of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). DMSO increases the rate of penetration of paraffin and provides additional preservation of the tissue structures. Its melting range is between 56 - 58 °C and, within this range any specimen can be processed without fear of damage irrespective of the method used.

In hematoxylin-eosin staining (H&E), the most widely used histological staining technique, nuclear staining is achieved using ready-to-use staining solutions, such as Mayer’s hemalum solution or Hematoxylin solution modified according to Gill III. These solutions do not need to be filtrated prior use and the dye is oxidized in a controlled manner, which renders the results robust and allows a brilliant differentiation of the stained structures. Counterstaining of i.e. for proteins, collagen, keratin, intercellular substances. can be performed with alcoholic or aqueous Eosin Y solution 0.5 %. It is registered as IVD and CE certified product and can be used for clinical diagnostics.

Used to increase lens effectiveness

Supplier: Merck

Giemsa's staining is one of the standard procedures in histology, hematology, cytology and bacteriology. The Giemsa's azur-eosin-methylene blue dye is a dry dye that is used for the preparation of a staining solution. This solution can be used for the staining of blood and bone marrow smears, paraffin sections, spirochaets and clinical-cytological specimens of human origin.

Histosec® pastilles (without DMSO) is an embedding medium for histology of samples of human origin. It is a paraffin enriched with polymers, also available with the addition of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). DMSO increases the rate of penetration of paraffin and provides additional preservation of the tissue structures. Its melting range is between 56 - 58 °C and, within this range any specimen can be processed without fear of damage irrespective of the method used.
In most clinical laboratories the paraffinization is performed with an automated embedding system and is performed directly after the histoprocessing.

Supplier: Merck

M-FIX is a fixative spray designed for the wet fixation of gynaecological and non-gynaecological preparations processed in Papanicolaou staining. It contains polyglycols in alcoholic solution and a rapid and secure fixation of specimens is possible.

Supplier: Merck

Hematoxylin-Monohydrat (C.I. 75290) Certistain® is a dye for the specific staining of DNA in the nuclei. It is used in cytology and histology. Nuclei are stained blue, dark violet to black. Hematoxylins are mixed with trivalent positively charged metal salts and build up the so-called hematoxylin lakes, used for the selective staining of nuclei (DNA). Certistain® is the quality group for seleceted high quality dyes that fulfill all quality requirements for IVD and CE registration.

De gedefinieerde hardheid en uniformiteit van het te snijden materiaal zijn essentieel voor een consistente snijdkwaliteit. Aan deze vereisten kan worden voldaan met allerlei geschikte stoffen, zoals paraffines, harsen, gelatine en celloïdine.

Supplier: Merck

DPX new is a synthetic non aqueous mounting medium for microscopy. In its formulation, the teratogenic plasticiizer dibutyl phthalate (DBP) has been avoided, which renders the composition safer for the environment and more user friendly than the conventionally used mounting agents such as DPX.

Supplier: Merck

The PAS (periodic acid Schiff) reaction is one of the most frequently used chemical methods for histology. This Certistain® Pararosaniline (chloride) solid dye is used to prepare the Schiff’s reagent required for the PAS reaction, for the staining of mucopolysaccharides in histological tissue specimens. As CERTISTAIN® dye it is chemically quality-certified according to highest standards and strict specifications. As an IVD product and CE registered, it can be used hassle-free in diagnostics and laboratory accreditations.
