A modification of Mayer’s hematoxylin is applied to provide blue to purple nuclear staining.This kit is optimized for use on BenchMark Special Stains instruments. The reagents are applied to tissue on microscope slides and mixed over the entire specimen.1. Layton C, Bancroft JD. Bancroft’s Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques. In: Elsevier; 2019.
