Packaging – 05-12013E
Primary container: white bottle in polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Useful capacity 2.5
liters. HDPE cap.
Tamper evident cap.
The polyethylenterephthalate is a thermoplastic polymer of the polyester family. PET is an
optimal oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gasses barrier. This material has an high
resistance to ultraviolet radiation and an inertia toward the mainly chemical agents
(solvents: xylene, limonene, liquid paraffines, alcohols, acids, bases etc.). It is biologically
inert. It constitutes a good water and humidity barrier. It shows a great hardness and
mechanical resistance.
The bottle has an optimal grip. The absence of the handles reduces space for storage. The
anti-dropping cap permits a precise and clean use.
Secondary container: carton box.

Expected aim Product for the preparation of: gynecological specimens, urine cytology, fine needle
specimens, sputum and bronchial washings, to be examined by optical microscopy.
Application Cytoplasmic staining for the keratinized cells in the Papanicolaou method.
For the execution of the staining method is required the use of reagents Papanicolaou
Harris hematoxylin and Papanicolaou EA50.

Principle A highly selective blue nuclear stain, Harris’ hematoxylin, is combined with EA50
polychromic mixture, a subtle cytoplasmic stain which differentiates cyanophil cells from
eosinophil ones. The last ingredient is OG6 solution, which stains keratinized elements.

Method

1) Ethanol 95°, 2 minutes
2) Distilled water, 2 minutes
3) Harris Hematoxylin, 1 minute
4) Tap water, 5 minutes
5) Ethanol 95°, 15 seconds
6) OG 6, 2 minutes
7) Ethanol 95°, 15 seconds (twice)
8) EA 65, 5 minutes
9) Ethanol 95°, 15 seconds
10) Absolute Ethanol, 30 seconds (twice)
11) Xilene or Bio Clear, 2 minutes (twice)

Results Nuclei : Blue-purple
Cyanophil cytoplasm : Blue-green
Eosinophil cytoplasm : Pink
Keratinized cytoplasm : From pink to orange
