Volu-Sol, Stat Stain - (1000 mL / 32 oz.)

Description

This product is ideal for Stat, routine or back-up staining. Volu-Sol has developed the proprietary mixture Stat Stain to rapidly stain blood smear (10-15 seconds) and bone marrow (20-30 seconds). Our unique manufacturing process generates finely dispersed stain particles which yield excellent color intensity and morphological differentiation. This stain eliminates many of the steps involved in the Wright-Giemsa staining procedure; it includes the buffer within the stain, allowing use of deionized or distilled water as a buffer and rinse. Procedure step elimination and shortened staining times make "manual methods" faster than "automated" systems, requiring very little technologist time. Blood smears take less than a minute from start to finish with distilled or deionized water as a suitable buffer and rinse. This product is available in both Wright-Giemsa (Stat Stain) and Wright's (Statim Stain) formulations. INTENDED USE: Rapid hematology stain for use in differential staining of peripheral blood, bone marrow and blood parasites. SUMMARY AND PRINCIPLES: Stat and statim stains are modifications of classical Wright and Wright-Giemsa Stain respectively. The necessary buffer salts are combined in stain solutions, allowing as short as 20 seconds for staining time and the use of distilled or deionized water as buffer and rinse. *NOTE: only use deionized or distilled water, never tap water.*
