Haematoxylin (Histology) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Haematoxylin (Histology) (Product Code: SCL454/0137) is a nuclear stain used to colour chromatin blue to purple in tissue sections, smears and cell preparations in histology laboratories. Medical, paramedical and life-science colleges use it as the first stain of the H and E method, and it comes as a 500 ml pack of analytical reagent grade with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to colleges that prepare their own permanent slides for biology teaching.

What Is Haematoxylin Stain Used For?

In a standard histology run, deparaffinised and rehydrated sections are placed in haematoxylin until the nuclei take up enough dye. The slides are then rinsed and blued in gently alkaline water, which turns the initial reddish tint to a crisp blue-purple. Where the stain is used regressively, a brief dip in acid alcohol removes excess colour from the cytoplasm before bluing, and counterstaining with eosin, dehydrating, clearing and mounting then complete the familiar H and E slide.

Colleges that cannot buy a prepared slide for every tissue in the syllabus often teach students to make their own, and a dependable haematoxylin is the foundation of that work. Filter the stain before use to avoid surface deposits on sections, keep the staining jar covered to reduce evaporation, and time each batch the same way so results match from one practical group to the next. Wear gloves, since the dye marks skin and benches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Haematoxylin (Histology) the product previously listed as Haemotoxicilin?
Yes. Haematoxylin (Histology) was previously listed under the misspelling Haemotoxicilin; the product code SCL454/0137 and the item are unchanged. It is haematoxylin, the nuclear stain used in histology, supplied as a 500 ml pack of analytical reagent grade with an MSDS.

Which haematoxylin formulation is this?
The listing for Haematoxylin (Histology) does not name a specific formulation, such as Harris or Mayer's haematoxylin. If your protocol requires one, ask us through the contact page before ordering so we can confirm whether this stain suits your method.

Why are the nuclei reddish instead of blue?
Nuclei stained with Haematoxylin (Histology) look reddish when the sections have not been blued long enough. Rinse them in gently alkaline water until the colour turns a crisp blue-purple, then continue with eosin, dehydration, clearing and mounting.

What is the shelf life of Haematoxylin (Histology)?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is given for Haematoxylin (Histology). Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, keep the bottle tightly closed away from sunlight and heat, and filter before use if a film forms.

Who supplies Haematoxylin (Histology)?
Haematoxylin (Histology) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India. The company quotes the stain with eosin, staining jars and slide racks, so histology departments can source the whole H and E workflow from one supplier.

Can you supply batch documents and bulk quantities?
Each pack of Haematoxylin (Histology) includes an MSDS; any further batch documents should be discussed with us before ordering. We quote bulk quantities of the 500 ml pack for colleges, institutes and distributors in India and international markets.
