Instructions for use

A buffer solution is not necessary if the water has already a stable pH 7.2.

Giemsa stains are generally diluted 1:10 in the buffer solution.

Once they are reconstituted, the Giemsa solutions can be kept only for some hours. They need to be prepared extemporaneously, in small quantities (maximum 5 ml per slide).

Always check the stability of the reconstituted solutions with pH strips.

Please consult the “Updated laboratory procedures, 2022” available online via the Laboratory working Group sharepoint page: Laboratory Procedures and Resources.
