Other Notes
The Giemsa’s Azure Eosin Methylene Blue solution can be used for the staining of blood and bone marrow smears, paraffin sections and clinical-cytological specimens. Giemsa staining is one of the standard procedures in histology, demonstrating various cells with their morphological features better than with H&E stain. The Giemsa stain can also be used to detect Helicobacter pylori in gastric tissue biopsies. The specimen material will show cell nuclei stained in various shades of blue, while other structures will appear in various red types. It is an IVD product and CE registered.
