Staining Mechanism & Color Interpretation
- DNA-Rich Nuclei → Red shades due to Eosin Y - Azure B-DNA complex interaction
- Cytoplasm & Acidophilic Components → Various red tones
- Chromatin Structures → Blue shades, influenced by pretreatment and fixation
- Staining Intensity & Hue → Depends on Azure B content, Azure B:Eosin Y ratio, fixation, staining time, and pH levels
Usage Guidelines
- Apply directly to prepared slides for staining of blood smears, bone marrow, or paraffin sections
- For hematology, use in combination with May-Grünwald’s solution for Pappenheim staining (MGG)
- Ensure proper fixation of specimens for optimal staining results
- Use appropriate buffer solutions to maintain pH consistency and avoid staining variability
- Follow recommended incubation times to achieve desired intensity and contrast
