Field’s Stain A solution 500ml

Description

Field’s Stain A Solution – 500 mL

Field’s Stain A is a ready-to-use aqueous staining solution used in laboratory and diagnostic settings for rapid staining of blood smears, thick or thin blood films, to reveal cellular components and detect blood‑borne parasites (e.g. malaria, protozoa, spirochaetes). This solution functions as the “basic dye” component in the two‑step Field stain method, which provides quick, clear, and reliable microscopic visualization.

Synonyms:

• Field’s Stain A

• Field Stain A Solution

Methylene Blue / Azure stain solution (basic component of Field stain)

Appearance & Color:

• Physical state: Liquid.

• Color: Dark bluish‑violet / deep blue‑violet solution.

Applications:

• Rapid staining of blood films (thin and thick smears) for detection of parasites (e.g. malaria) in clinical/parasitology settings.

• Differentiation of blood cells (erythrocytes, leukocytes, nuclei) for hematological examination.

• Protozoa and microfilariae visualization in cytology / parasitology.

Storage & Handling (typical):
Store at room temperature (15–25 °C) in a tightly closed container, protected from extremes of temperature or direct sunlight — as with most lab reagents. Use with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), avoid ingestion or skin/eye contact, and handle in a well‑ventilated lab environment.
