Expected aim
Product for the preparation of: gynecological specimens, urine cytology, fine needle
specimens, sputum and bronchial washings, to be examined by optical microscopy
Application
Cytoplasmic staining solution for Papanicolaou method.
For the execution of the staining method is required the use of reagents Papanicolaou
Principle
A highly selective blue nuclear stain, Harris’ haematoxylin, is combined with EA50 polychromic mixture, a subtle cytoplasmic stain which differentiates cynophile cells from eosinophil ones. The last ingredient is OG6 solution, which stains keratinized elements.
