The Giemsa Special Stains kit is for use on the OptiMax Plus Consolidated Staining System. To use, the operator loads the appropriate tissue slides and solutions into the instrument and chooses the Giemsa stain protocol.
The staining procedure is intended for histological staining of the microorganism Helicobacter pylori in tissue sections. Romanowsky dyes or stains contain a mixture of the basic dye, methylene blue, and the acid dye, eosin. These polychromatic stains provide a wide color range when staining tissues and blood smears. Polychromatic stains were initially named for their capability to form metachromatic dyes, particularly on standing in solution or at an alkaline pH. BioGenex
