Specs & features.
Leishman’s Stain (250ml) is a ready-to-use, methanol-based Romanowsky dye used in microscopy to stain blood and bone marrow smears. It eliminates the need for a separate prefixing step because it contains methanol, which simultaneously acts as a fixative and the solvent for the dyes.
No specifications have been listed.
- Dual Action: Functions as both a smear fixative and a staining agent in one go.
- Core Components: Formulated with "polychromed" methylene blue (azure dyes) and Eosin Y. The acidic Eosin stains basic components, while basic methylene blue stains acidic components.
- Primary Applications: Ideal for performing Differential Leucocyte Counts (DLC) and identifying malarial parasites, trypanosomes, and other blood-borne protozoa.
