Modified Harris Hematoxylin is the Progressive & Regressive Nuclear Stain for H&E and Cytology, it is most versatile, mercury-free hematoxylin formulation. An improved version of the classic Harris Hematoxylin, it is optimized for consistent, crisp blue-black nuclear detail with excellent differentiation control. Ideal for Routine Histology, PAP Smears, and Frozen Sections.
  • Mercury-Free & Safe: Formulated without Mercuric Oxide – safer for users and environment
  • Dual Mode – Progressive & Regressive: Can be used as 5-min progressive stain or 10-min regressive stain with acid-alcohol differentiation
  • No Precipitate Formula: 0.1 micron filtered, stable for 24 months – no metallic scum on slides
  • Enhanced Nuclear Chromatin: Added glacial acetic acid gives sharp chromatin pattern, ideal for malignancy detection
  • Ready-to-Use: No dilution, no ripening required
  • IVD / CE Certified – ISO 13485 Manufactured
  • Available Sizes: 100ml, 500ml, 1L, 5L
  • pH: 2.4 – 2.8
  • Storage: 15-30°C
  • Hematein (oxidized hematoxylin) forms a positively charged lake with Aluminum mordant.
  • This lake binds to negatively charged phosphate groups of nuclear DNA via electrostatic attraction.
  • Sodium iodate ensures complete conversion of hematoxylin to hematein, giving consistent staining intensity from first to last ml.
  • Acetic acid increases selectivity for nuclei over cytoplasm, preventing background staining.
  • For Pathologist:
    1. Crystal clear nucleus with transparent cytoplasm – Better N:C ratio assessment, prominent nucleoli, no over-staining artifacts in colon, breast, cervix biopsies.
  • For Technician:
    1. Saves 15 minutes per batch – No filtering daily, no heating, no pH adjustment. Forgiving – 2 to 10 minutes staining window gives same result. Excellent for autostainers and manual staining.
  • Applications :
    1. 1. Routine H&E Staining – Histopathology Gold Standard
      2. Pap Staining for Cytology
      3. Frozen Section Staining (Intraoperative)
      4. Counterstain for IHC and Special Stains (PAS, Mucicarmine, Alcian Blue)
