Euromex (Dissolved) Stains
PB.5250 Solid Paraffin, 200 g
Paraffin wax is a white, odorless, waxy solid in its pure form. Its melting point ranges from 47 to 64°C, depending on the average length of its hydrocarbon molecules, and its density is approximately 0.9 g/cm³. It is insoluble in water but readily dissolves in organic solvents such as ether, benzene, and certain esters.
PB.5255 Immersion Oil, 25 ml
Immersion oil enables microscopes to produce high-contrast images at magnifications of up to 1000×. To use immersion oil, place the specimen on the microscope stage and apply a drop of oil between the coverslip and the front lens of the oil immersion objective (typically marked with a black ring).
PB.5265 Entellan, Quick-Drying Canada Balsam, 25 ml
A quick-drying, transparent mounting medium used for preparing permanent microscope slides. Applied between the microscope slide and the coverslip, it secures and protects the specimen while ensuring excellent optical clarity. Primarily used for preparing permanent histological and biological specimens, allowing long-term preservation and storage.
PB.5274 Isopropyl Alcohol 99%, 200 ml
A high-purity, fast-evaporating organic solvent used in laboratory and microscopy applications. Primarily used for degreasing and cleaning optical and technical surfaces, as well as for dehydrating certain biological specimens. It is also suitable for cleaning certain glass surfaces of microscopes, although care must be taken when using it on sensitive coatings and plastic components.
PB.5280 Azo Carmine-G, 25 ml
A red biological staining solution from Euromex, used for microscopic examination of animal tissues. Primarily used for staining cell nuclei and certain tissue structures in histological sections, particularly in the AZAN staining method. It can also be used to stain bacteria, improving the visibility of microscopic details.
PB.5283 Eosin Yellow, 25 ml
A yellowish eosin staining solution used for microscopic staining of histological and biological specimens. It stains the cytoplasm, red blood cells, and certain extracellular structures pink or red. Frequently used together with hematoxylin in H&E staining, facilitating the examination of cellular and tissue structures.
PB.5286 Hematoxylin, 25 ml
A hematoxylin staining solution used for microscopic staining of histological and biological specimens. It primarily stains cell nuclei and chromatin blue-purple, making cellular structures clearly visible. Frequently used together with eosin in H&E staining, one of the most widely used histological staining techniques.
PB.5289 Astra Blue, 25 ml
A blue biological staining solution primarily used for microscopic examination of plant tissues. It stains cellulose-rich, non-lignified cell walls blue, making it easier to distinguish different plant tissues. Frequently used in combination with safranin to differentiate between lignified and non-lignified tissues.
PB.5292 Orange-G, 25 ml
An orange biological staining solution used for microscopic staining of histological and cytological specimens. It primarily stains keratin-rich, keratinized cells and certain protein-rich structures orange. Commonly used in the Papanicolaou staining method (Pap test), as well as in certain specialized histological staining techniques.
PB.5295 Safranin, 25 ml
A red biological staining solution used for microscopic staining of plant tissues and bacteria. It stains lignified plant cell walls red, helping to distinguish different tissue types. In microbiology, it is used as a counterstain in Gram staining, coloring Gram-negative bacteria pink to red.
PB.5297 Methylene Blue, 25 ml
A methylene blue staining solution used for microscopic examination of biological and microbiological specimens. It stains cell nuclei, bacteria, and certain cellular structures blue, improving their visibility under the microscope. Commonly used for examining cheek epithelial cells, bacteria, and other biological specimens, particularly in educational laboratories.
PB.5300 Aniline Blue, 25 ml
An aniline blue staining solution used for microscopic staining of histological specimens. It is primarily used to stain collagen fibers in connective tissues blue, helping to distinguish different tissue structures. Used as the third staining component in the AZAN staining method, particularly for differentiating connective tissue from muscle tissue.
PB.5305 Fuchsin, 25 ml
A fuchsin staining solution used for microscopic staining of biological and histological specimens. It is primarily suitable for staining rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) in tissues reddish-pink. It helps distinguish bacteria and certain tissue structures, facilitating their microscopic examination.
PB.5270 Xylene (Xylol), 100 ml
An organic solvent used for preparing microscopic specimens and cleaning certain optical surfaces. In histological procedures, it is used for clearing specimens after dehydration and for removing paraffin wax. It can also be used to remove certain contaminants from microscope lenses, but only on optical surfaces resistant to the solvent.
