Description

The Chlamydial Stain Kit includes 250 mL Solution I - Giemsa Stain, 100 mL Solution II - Buffer solution and 100 mL Solution III - Iodine Stain.

• Kit Includes Solution I - Giemsa Stain 250 mL, Solution II - Buffer Solution 100 mL, and Solution III - Iodine Stain 100 mL
• Recommended Procedure:
  • Giemsa Buffer Solution:
    • 1 part of Sol. I to 40 or 50 parts of Sol. II. (If a darker stain is desired, increase ratio of stain to buffer.)
    • Place fixed smear into Giemsa Buffer Sol. for 1 hour. (Time may vary according to intensity of stain desired.)
    • NOTE: Giemsa Buffer Sol. should be freshly made.
    • Slide is then rinsed rapidly in 95% ethanol to remove excess dye and to enhance differentiation.
  • Iodine Method:
    • Place fixed smear into Sol. III for 3 - 5 minutes.
    • Slide is examined as a wet mount.
    • NOTE: The slide may be decolorized with methyl alcohol and restained with Giemsa stain.
  • Results:
    • Giemsa Stain:
      • The elementary bodies stain a reddish purple.
      • The initial bodies are more basophilic, staining bluish as do bacteria.
    • Iodine Stain:
      • The matrix of inclusions may appear as a reddish-brown mass recognizable under low power.
      • Check with higher objective to confirm.
• Contents: Giemsa Stain, Methanol, Buffer Salts, Iodine, Potassium Iodide
