Typically, methanol is not used for staining slides in histological procedures but is preferred as a fixative and solvent for hematology staining procedures such as Wright, Wright Giemsa, Giemsa, and other Romanowsky-type staining processes. There isn't a special grade of methanol specifically designated for use in hematology staining.
