Product Details:
Harris hematoxylin is a commonly used nuclear stain in histology and cytology, primarily for routein hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining, which stains cell nuclei a deep blue or purple. It is a regressive stain, meaning it overstains the tissue and is then selectively destained with an acid solution to achieve differentiation. Modern formulations often replace the toxic mercuric oxide in the original formula with less toxic oxidizing agents like sodium or potassium iodate
