General description

The Hemacolor® Rapid staining of blood smear - staining set for microscopy, is used for human-medical cell diagnosis and serves the purpose of the hematological and clinico-cytological investigation of sample material of human origin, for example smears of whole blood and bone marrow.
The Hemacolor® Rapid staining of blood smear staining set combines the brilliance and reproducibility of the Pappenheim staining with the time-advantage of a rapid stain. The Hemacolor® Rapid staining of blood smear staining set contains a fixing solution, one red (eosin) and one blue (azur) staining solution and phosphate buffer tablets pH 7.2 according to Weise (Product number 1.09468). The staining solutions are separately applied, which results in a high degree of stability. The conventionally appearing precipitates in the hematological staining solutions, could be avoided in this kit. In addition to blood and bone marrow smears, Hemacolor® Rapid staining of blood smear can be used in clinical cytology, e.g. for staining urine, sputum, FNAB, effusions and lavages.
A kit contains safe 100-ml PE-bottles and three buffer tablets. The package is sufficient for 50 - 200 applications. The buffer tablets acc. to Weise pH 7.2 (Product number 1.09468) are also available in larger pack sizes, thus, they can be useful for higher demands. The three solutions needed for staining are all available individually as:

Hemacolor® Rapid staining of blood smear solution 1, fixing solution (Product number 1.11955)
Hemacolor® Rapid staining of blood smear solution 2, colour reagent red (Product number 1.11956)
Hemacolor® Rapid staining of blood smear solution 3, colour reagent blue(Cat. no. 111957)

For more details, please see instructions for use (IFU). This product is registered as IVD and CE marked.
