Benz Microscope H&E Stain Kit, Hematoxylin (Ehrlichs) Eosin. H&E staining is the most common staining technique used in histology and pathology diagnosis. Hematoxylin has a deep blue-purple color and stains nucleic acids. Eosin is pink and stains proteins, erythrocytes, cytoplasm and other tissue elements. In a typical tissue, nuclei are stained blue, whereas the cytoplasm and extracellular matrix have varying degrees of pink staining. 

Ehrlichs Hemotoxylin can be used with both progressive and regressive protocols. It is naturally oxidized resulting in longer shelf life. Specific instructions vary, based on application, protocol, and personal preference. User Guidelines are included to aid in general understanding. Packaged in USA. SKU BZ0921

It works really well

It works really well with this price. The staining would be stable if you follow the standard HE staining protocol.
By the way, there is no Bluing regent inside, but it is not big deal, because you can use most water solution with pH of 7.8-9, such as ammonia water, bicarbonate buffer, Calcium hydroxyde solution, and so on. If the tap water in your area is hard (basic) enough you can use tap water. I even tried once with alkaline spring water sold in Walmart and it worked XD

Thank you for your detailed review! Your observations are sure be helpful to others, and your insight is appreciated. We hope you'll visit us again!

It takes practice to figure out how to stain properly though :/
P.S: wish there was more acid alcohol, perhaps one big bottle
