Hematoxylin and eosin reagents

Manufactured by Merck Group

Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) reagents are a set of stains used in histology and pathology laboratories for the staining and visualization of cellular structures. Hematoxylin stains nuclei blue, while eosin stains cytoplasm and other structures pink. This staining technique provides contrast and allows for the identification of different cell types and tissue structures under a microscope.

Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining of Paraffin Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sections of 3 μm were prepared from paraffin-embedded tissue blocks and stained using commercial hematoxylin and eosin reagents (Sigma-Aldrich, NJ). Briefly, slides were deparaffinized and processed as follows: incubation at 75°C in an oven for 10 minutes; three 5-minute rinses in xylene; three 5-minute rinses in 100% ethanol; one 5-minute rinse in each of the 95% ethanol, 75% ethanol, and 50% ethanol solutions, consecutively; one 3-minute rinse in running tap water; one 5-minute staining incubation immersed in Mayer's hematoxylin solution. Slides were then rinsed once in running cold tap water for 5 minutes, 10 times in 95% acid ethanol for 3 second each and stained in eosin Y solution for 30 seconds. Slides were dehydrated by one 3minute immersion in each of the 50% ethanol, 75% ethanol, and 95% ethanol solutions, and three 3-minute immersions in 100% ethanol, and cleared in three 3-minute immersions in xylene. Data from 5 representative nonoverlapping fields selected under 400× magnification were pooled for each clinical specimen.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
