o-Tolidine is a diacidic dye which is sparingly soluble in water and easily soluble in ether and alcohol. On exposure to chlorine or bromine vapors, it forms an intense blue color. This forms the basis for detection of chlorine, nitrates and hydrogen peroxide in air or water. It turns yellow on reacting with free chlorine. o-Tolidine easily forms acid salts.

Certified for Giemsa stain for blood films and for the Wolbach′s Giemsa method for paraffin sections. Giemsa is a versatile polychromatic stain, which is suitable for staining a diverse range of specimens. It is a buffered thiazine-eosinate solution designed to provide coloration of blood cells. Giemsa’s stain is frequently used for diagnostic purposes in hematology to differentiate the nuclear and cytoplasmic morphology of platelets, RBCs, WBCs, and parasites. It is frequently used in combination with other dye solutions as May-Grunwald’s solution for Pappenheim (MGG) and Wright-Giemsa. The Giemsa stain was adapted to histology due to its unique staining of chromatin, nuclear membranes, and cytoplasmic elements. Giemsa′s staining solution is composed of methylene blue, azure, and eosin.
