Ethidium bromide 0,625 mg/l in aqueous solution, Biotechnology Grade
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
Ethidium bromide solution is a fluorescent stain for visualising nucleic acids in solution or in electrophoresis gels. The solution is provided at a concentration of 0,625 mg/ml. A final working concentration of 0,5 g/ml is easily obtained by adding one drop of solution to 50 ml of molten agarose, running buffer or staining buffer. Ethidium bromide solution in dropper bottles may be stored at room temperature for up to one year.

Methylene blue solution for microbiology, Sigma-Aldrich®
Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY
Ehrlich’s reagent III, Loeffler’s Methylene Blue. Methylene Blue was earlier recognized as a good nuclear stain, the staining solutions are always either aged or alkalized, if not both. More importantly it is an excellent stain for ribonucleic acid, which is the important stainable constituent of bacterial bodies, of lymphocyte and hemoportoal cytoplasm, and of nerve cell tigroid granules. It can also be employed in capsule stain. The capsule stain begins as a negative stain leaving the organisms colorless. The capsule are clearly seen as halo surrounding the bacterial cell. Another staining procedure is performed with nigrosin (Cat. No. 43925).

Alcian blue solution, Sigma-Aldrich®
Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY
Alcian Blue solution has been used in the histological staining of acidic glycosaminoglycans (GAGs; mucopolysaccharides) that are carboxylated or sulfated. Sulfated glycosaminoglycans appear to be the preferred substrate for alcian blue at pH 2.5. Alcian blue has been used to stain hyaluronan (HA), a nonsulfated GAG, but the intensity of the staining of HA is affected by the method of tissue fixation used. Alcian blue staining of GAGs in tissue may be modified through the addition of an electrolyte such as magnesium chloride.

Wright's stain used as a blood stain, Sigma-Aldrich®
Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY
Wright′s Stain solution is commercially available and is generally used in hematology. Its preparation involves heating methylene blue with sodium bicarbonate and combining the mixture with eosin. It is alkaline, hence, its concentration is continuously changing due to the progressive oxidizing action of the alkali. Therefore, Giemsa′s stain is added to preserve the azurophilic properties of polychrome dyes.
