description Product Description
Giemsa's stain is widely used in medical and biological laboratories for staining blood films and identifying blood parasites, such as those causing malaria. It helps in differentiating cell types, particularly in hematology, by highlighting the nuclei of cells in a distinct purple color and cytoplasm in shades of blue or pink. This stain is also employed in cytogenetics for chromosome banding (G-banding) to analyze chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders. Additionally, it aids in the identification of bacteria and the study of bone marrow samples, making it a versatile tool in diagnostic and research settings.
