Merck
Description
The staining method according to Leishman is one of the standard techniques in hematological diagnostic procedures. Like Wright’s eosin methylene blue solution and May-Grünwald’s eosin methylene blue solution, it is used for staining of blood and bone marrow smears and clinical cytological specimens. The typical resulting color of cell nuclei is red to purple, which depends on the buffer tablets (Buffer tablets pH 7.2 or Buffer tablets pH 6.8). 500 mL of the IVD & CE-registered Leishman’s eosin methylene blue solution are sufficient for staining up to 1600 slides in Hellendahl cells. It is registered as IVD and CE product.
Application
For microscopy. For staining of blood and bone marrow smears and clinical-cytological specimens
