Description
Giemsa stock solution is a ready-to-use staining concentrate formulated for microscopy, particularly classical haematological and cytological differential staining. The solution exhibits a density of 0,99 g/cm³, a flash point of 11 °C and a boiling point of 65 °C, and is classified under UN number 1230. Giemsa protocols remain a cornerstone for visualising blood films, bone-marrow smears and parasite morphology, delivering clear nuclear and cytoplasmic contrast when diluted according to standard methods. This microscopy-grade stock from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports consistent batch-to-batch staining performance without the need to dissolve dry dye powders on site, helping laboratories maintain reproducible slide quality in everyday diagnostic and research workflows.
This article is part of Microscopy stains & staining solutions, in Dyes, stains & indicators.

Questions about Giemsa stock solution, for microscopy, 500 ml, plastic
What is this article?
Giemsa stock solution, for microscopy, 500 ml, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Microscopy stains & staining solutions, inside Dyes, stains & indicators, in Lab chemicals.
A microscopy stain binds a structure so it can be seen: haematoxylin on nuclei, eosin on cytoplasm, Gram reagents on a bacterial wall. A ready solution and a dry dye to be dissolved are different articles. The method names the stain. A substitute dye is a different method.
A dye or a stain binds, or changes colour, so that something invisible becomes visible. An indicator changes at a pH or a redox point. A fluorescent dye absorbs one wavelength and emits another, which is how a microscope or a plate reader picks it out. The excitation and emission, or the transition interval, are the specification. The colour name on the label is not. Structures are on PubChem under IUPAC names. Methods are in the PubMed literature.
