Field Stain B Powder 25g (Griffchem)

Product: Field Stain B Powder Manufacturer: Griffchem Quantity: 25g

Purpose:

Field Stain B Powder is a component of a histological staining method used for rapidly processing blood smears. This stain helps diagnose malaria by making malarial parasites visible under a microscope.

Composition:

• The exact composition of Griffchem’s Field Stain B Powder is not publicly available due to potential proprietary information.
• Generally, Field Stain B is a mixture, often containing:
  • Eosin Y: A red dye that stains red blood cells and other cytoplasmic components.
  • Phosphates: Buffering agents that maintain a consistent pH level during the staining process.

Applications:

• Primarily used in conjunction with Field Stain A (another powder) for rapid diagnosis of malaria in blood smears.
• Can potentially be used in other Romanowsky-type staining protocols, but confirmation from Griffchem is recommended.

Important Considerations:

• Safety: While not typically considered hazardous under normal laboratory conditions, always follow recommended laboratory safety protocols when handling chemicals. Refer to Griffchem’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific handling instructions.
• Microscopy use: Field Stain B Powder is a component for a staining technique. It requires additional reagents and proper microscopy techniques for parasite identification.
