Dehydrant Alcohol product lines are specifically designed for tissue processing and staining of histological and cytological specimens. The products are a clear, colorless blend of ethyl, isopropyl, and methyl alcohol that in some cases have trace amounts of other denatured materials. All Dehydrant Alcohol products are non-controlled substances and do not require record keeping. The formulations are readily miscible with water to form any desired grade of alcohol and can be used with all clearing reagents. The Dehydrant Alcohol line can be used with both open and closed tissue processors. Protective gloves should be worn and work should be performed in a ventilated area. Dehydrant Alcohol is a flammable product and must be stored in a flammable fire cabinet. The Dehydrant Alcohol product line can also be used for hydrating and dehydrating tissue sections during staining. They can be used with all special stains that require dehydration, as solvents for preparing special stains, and immunohistochemical procedures that are compatible with alcoholic dehydrants. The Dehydrant Alcohol product line can be substituted in place of any alcohol you are presently using for hematoxylin and eosin-y staining. They are compatible with all manual procedures and automatic stainers.

Hematology stains are typically mixtures of several thiazin dyes in a methanol solvent. Ionic and non-ionic forces are involved in the binding of the dyes. The negatively charged phosphoric acid groups of DNA attract the purple polychromatic cationic dyes to the nuclei. The blue basophilic granules are stained by the polychromatic cationic dyes. Cationic cellular components, such as the erythrocytes and eosinophilic granules, are stained by the red and pink anionic dyes. The buffers used in the staining procedure liberate and activate dye ions allowing them to chemically bond with specific cellular components. When staining blood and bone marrow smears, the pH of the staining solution and/or buffer is a critical factor. The Wright, Wright-Giemsa, Giemsa, May-Grunwald and Jenner stains all rely on a separate buffer solution to control the pH of the reaction, whereas the buffered versions are referred to as “one-step” and have the buffering component already in the staining solution. There are pros and cons to each type of hematology stain although they all contain the thiazin dyes which control the coloration of the nuclear cell components. The single solutions with buffer included generally present more precipitate and the cellular detail is not defined as well as using separate stain and buffer solutions. This kit contains three 500ml bottles of Wright Giemsa stain, pH 6.8 Buffer and a Rinse solution intended to be used as a system per the instructions for use.

In 1949, Dr. George Brecher developed a stain called new methylene blue to identify immature erythrocytes (reticulocytes) based upon aggregations of RNA within disintegrating ribosomes. This RNA is at its highest level immediately after enucleation of the cell and continues to decrease until its complete absence in the fully mature erythrocyte. Reticulocytes are so named due to their mesh-like (reticular) network of ribosomal RNA which, after staining, is readily visible with a blue granulofilamentous appearance. The quantitative evaluation of reticulocytes in peripheral blood is an important test used in the assessment of erythropoiesis, bone marrow function, and anemia typing.

Gram Stain Kits – Tissue & Film Bacteria can be classified into one of two families based upon structural and compositional differences in their cell walls. Gram-positive bacteria have thick cell walls with high peptidoglycan content, whereas Gram-negative bacteria have thin cell walls with low peptidoglycan content. Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria stain with the dye- lake formed by Crystal Violet Solution and Gram’s Iodine Solution. However, during rinsing with Decolorizing Solution, this dye-lake is completely removed from the thin-walled Gram- negative bacteria, allowing them to be subsequently stained with Safranin O Stain Solution. The short duration of the decolorization step enables Gram-positive bacteria to retain the crystal violet dye-lake. Care should be taken when rinsing slides with Decolorizing Solution, as extended rinses can cause the crystal violet dye-lake to be removed from Gram-positive bacteria in addition to Gram-negative bacteria. Within the Tissue Kit only, tissue elements are then counterstained yellow by Tartrazine Stain Solution.

Modified Grocott’s Methenamine Silver Stain Kit (Chromic Acid) is intended for use as an aid to identify fungal organisms and basement membranes in tissue sections for the diagnosis of general pathology specimens. Fungal cell walls are rich in polysaccharides known as glucans. Treatment with either periodic acid or chromic acid oxidizes these polysaccharides to form aldehyde groups; however, chromic acid is the stronger oxidizer. Chromic acid will achieve a greater degree of oxidation, rendering some chemical groups non-reactive with silver so that they are not demonstrated within the final stain. This greater level of oxidation also results in reduced background staining of basement membranes and collagen fibers, as well as more effective demonstration of Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly classified as Pneumocystis carinii) and Histoplasma capsulatum (the causative organism of Histoplasmosis). After oxidation, Sodium Metabisulfite Solution removes residual Chromic Acid Solution from the tissue. The aldehyde groups react with the silver ions present in the Working Methenamine Silver Solution and reduce them to form visible metallic silver. Gold Chloride Solution tones the sections and intensifies the reduced silver by forming a silver-gold complex. Sodium Thiosulfate Solution removes any unreduced silver from the tissue sections, followed by Fast Green Stain Solution which produces a light green background to further enhance contrast.

Modified Steiner-Steiner Silver Stain Kit aids in identifying spirochetes and non-filamentous bacteria in tissue sections for the diagnosis of general pathology specimens. Microorganisms that stain positively with this technique have a cell wall that will adsorb silver from a silver solution (argyrophilic). The silver is first adsorbed in a non-visible form and is subsequently reduced by the Working Reducing Solution (hydroquinone) to a visible metallic silver.

Modified Steiner-Steiner Silver Stain Kit aids in identifying spirochetes and non-filamentous bacteria in tissue sections for the diagnosis of general pathology specimens. Microorganisms that stain positively with this technique have a cell wall that will adsorb silver from a silver solution (argyrophilic). The silver is first adsorbed in a non-visible form and is subsequently reduced by the Working Reducing Solution (hydroquinone) to a visible metallic silver.

Gomori’s Trichrome Stain Kit Green Collagen and its components are used as a special stain kit to distinguish between collagen and muscle fibers. The cytoplasmic stain and the collagen stain are combined into one solution along with phosphotungstic-phosphomolybdic and glacial acetic acids. Muscle cells and cytoplasm favor the red dyes, and this is facilitated by the phosphotungstic acid. Collagen fibers take up the tungstate ion, allowing for the green dye to selectively bind.

Fungal cell walls are rich in polysaccharides known as glucans. Periodic Acid Solution oxidizes these polysaccharides to form aldehydes, which in turn react with the silver ions present in the Working Methenamine Silver Solution and reduce them to form visible metallic silver. Gold Chloride Solution tones the sections and intensifies the reduced silver by forming a silver-gold complex. Sodium Thiosulfate Solution removes any unreduced silver from the tissue sections, followed by Fast Green Stain Solution which produces a light green background to further enhance contrast.

Modified Grocott’s Methenamine Silver Stain Kit (Chromic Acid) is intended for use as an aid to identify fungal organisms and basement membranes in tissue sections for the diagnosis of general pathology specimens. Fungal cell walls are rich in polysaccharides known as glucans. Treatment with either periodic acid or chromic acid oxidizes these polysaccharides to form aldehyde groups; however, chromic acid is the stronger oxidizer. Chromic acid will achieve a greater degree of oxidation, rendering some chemical groups non-reactive with silver so that they are not demonstrated within the final stain. This greater level of oxidation also results in reduced background staining of basement membranes and collagen fibers, as well as more effective demonstration of Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly classified as Pneumocystis carinii) and Histoplasma capsulatum (the causative organism of Histoplasmosis). After oxidation, Sodium Metabisulfite Solution removes residual Chromic Acid Solution from the tissue. The aldehyde groups react with the silver ions present in the Working Methenamine Silver Solution and reduce them to form visible metallic silver. Gold Chloride Solution tones the sections and intensifies the reduced silver by forming a silver-gold complex. Sodium Thiosulfate Solution removes any unreduced silver from the tissue sections, followed by Fast Green Stain Solution which produces a light green background to further enhance contrast.
