Title: An evaluation of some commerical Romanowsky stains. Author: Marshall PN, Bentley SA, Lewis SM. Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1975 Aug; 28(8):680-5. PubMed ID: 52658. Abstract: The staining properties of 43 commerical Romanowsky-type stains have been studied. Considerable differences in the appearance of stained blood films were observed with different batches of these stains, the staining of red cells being particularly variable. Attempts have been made to correlate staining patterns with stain composition as revealed by thin-layer chromatography and sulphated ash analyses. In this way it has been possible to define some essential requirements for satisfactory staining.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
