Epredia™ Modified Mayer’s Hematoxylin is a progressive stain that can be used with or without a glacial acetic acid rinse. The stain will provide very well defined and delineated nuclear chromatin. Due to lower dye-lake concentrations, Modified Mayer’s Hematoxylin will need elevated staining time, such as 10-15 minutes to achieve darker intensities. This formulation does not contain chloral hydrate, a controlled substance. Modified Mayer’s Hematoxylin is an excellent counterstain for special stains such as the PAS stain. It is also popular and highly used as a counterstain for IHC procedures. The low dye concentration of this stain will provide excellent contrast and no masking of the primary reaction in these procedures.
