Eosin Y-Stain Solution 1%(w/v) Alcoholic
- Eosin Y 1% Alcoholic is the gold standard counterstain for routine Hematoxylin & Eosin staining worldwide. It provides the perfect, classic pink that every pathologist is trained to read. If the lab does 100 H&E slides a day, this is the eosin the lab needs. Stable, fast, and economical – designed for non-stop routine workload.
- This is NOT a light or bright variant. This is the original, true pink – The standard against which all other eosins are judged.
- Standard Pink Shade: Classic light pink to eosinophilic orange – Ideal for routine reporting
- Alcoholic Base Formulation: Rapid action in ethanol base – 45 sec to 2 min staining, saves time
- pH Optimized at 4.6-5.0: Acidified with glacial acetic acid for sharp, selective staining
- Ready-to-Use & Filtered: 0.22 micron filtered, no precipitate, no background staining
- Batch Certified: Each batch checked on human tissue for staining intensity & clarity
- High Stability: 24 months shelf life at room temperature, no fading
- Compatible with All Hematoxylins: Works perfectly with Harris, Ehrlich, Mayer, Gill Hematoxylin
- H&E works on charge principle. After Hematoxylin (basic dye) stains acidic nuclei BLUE, Eosin Y (acidic dye) stains basic components PINK.
- Result – The Perfect H&E
-
1. Fixation & Hematoxylin: Nuclei become Blue.
2. Differentiation: Excess blue removed.
3. Our Eosin Y 1% Alcoholic: Enters cytoplasm. As an anionic dye, it binds to cationic proteins in cytoplasm, collagen, muscle, RBCs.
4. Dehydration & Mounting: Pink becomes permanent and transparent.
