Eh…good enough

It left lots of stain artifacts and platelets in perpetual blood didn’t really take up the stain, but it was fine enough since I wasn’t expecting too much from it.

Pleasantly surprised

A simple, yet effective stain. I was blown away how good the stain came out. I viewed my personal blood smear using this stain with a cheap $120 microscope and was amazed that I could easily perform a manual diff with little trouble. The granules arent as prominent in some of the WBCs but I lay the fault to my cheap microscope. No MeOH is needed for fixing, this is all you need! Plenty of stain and buffer soln and will last for many slides. Very happy with this purchase.

We love these types of surprises! Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We hope you will visit us again!

Works as described

Received the product quickly and it worked exactly as described - in the future I would consider a larger bottle of stain and buffer - actually could use 2-3X more buffer for rinsing the slides.

Thank you for the kind words, Robert! We have good news for you. We are currently working with the manufacturer to produce a larger volume set. We appreciate the great feedback and hope to have this online soon.

Works ok

I have used this on a couple of smears, works ok, seems like I can get good RBC staining or good wbc staining, but not both. I prefer other products I've used, but it's good in a pinch. Protocol (wright-geimsa) is better in my opinion, and is a single step

PERIPHERAL SMEAR STAINED WELL

I used this set to stain a smear I made at home, and it turned out remarkably well. Don't know if the artifacts on the smear was from the slide or precipitate in the stain. The cells were differentiated well. Just wish there was more stain the bottle.

Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Why is is only for educational laboratory use?
Thank you visiting BenzMicroscope.com! Our chemical kits and solutions do not include Certificates of Analysis, which are required in some laboratory settings. Because of this, our manufacturer specifies them for educational use. These items are produced in the USA and of top quality, so it is to the discretion of the user how they are utilized. Please let us know if we can be of any futher assistance!
Will you ship wrights blood stain to Canada - Calgary, AB

After your order is placed, we will notifiy you if shipping is more, or less, than the amount charged at checkout. We will refund or invoice the difference accordingly.

How long does the stain last before expiration?
The manufacturer states that stains have a shelf life of at least 1 year. With proper storage, however, they could last up 3 years and still be effective. For best results re-cap the bottles tightly and store in a dry place away from heat and light.
Does the stain work well on blood smears?
Yes. Most reviewers report good results staining peripheral blood smears, with clear cell differentiation. One customer was able to perform a manual differential easily using a basic microscope. Some users note occasional artifacts or uneven staining of RBCs versus WBCs depending on technique.
Is there enough stain and buffer included?
The small kit (15ml stain, 30ml buffer) provides sufficient quantity for many slides, though some users wish for more buffer for rinsing. The large kit offers significantly more of both. Consider the large size if you plan extensive use.
Does this product require methanol fixation?
No. A reviewer confirmed that no methanol is needed—the kit provides everything required for the complete staining process.
How does this compare to Wright-Giemsa stain?
One experienced user notes that Wright-Giemsa is preferable as a single-step protocol, suggesting that standard Wright's stain (this product) requires more steps. However, most reviewers are satisfied with Wright's stain performance for their purposes.
Can I use this with a basic microscope?
Yes. A reviewer successfully performed a manual differential using this stain with an affordable $120 microscope, reporting good cell visibility and differentiation.
