General description

Hematoxylin solution modified acc. to Gill II - for microscopy, is used for human-medical cell diagnosis and serves the purpose of the cytological and histological investigation of sample material of human origin. It is a ready-to-use staining solution that when used together with other in vitro diagnostic products from our portfolio makes cytological target structures evaluable for diagnostic purposes in human gynecological and clinico-cytological specimen materials, for example cervical smears. 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 II or Gill III. 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 %.These solutions do need to be filtrated prior use.
A 500 ml bottle is sufficient for 1500 - 2500 slides. It is registered as IVD and certified as CE product. For more details, please see instructions for use (IFU). The IFU can be downloaded from this webpage.

Wolcott-Rallison Syndrome (WRS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that is the most common cause of neonatal diabetes in consanguineous families. WRS is caused by various genetic alterations of the Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2-Alpha Kinase 3 (EIF2AK3) gene. Genetic

Intraplaque hemorrhage frequently occurs in atherosclerotic plaques resulting in cell-free hemoglobin, which is oxidized to ferryl hemoglobin (FHb) in the highly oxidative environment. Osteoclast-like cells (OLCs) derived from macrophages signify a counterbalance mechanism for calcium deposition in atherosclerosis. Our aim
