Instructions for use:

This stain is a regular stain and not a one step

1.    Place 1.0 ml of the Wright Stain Solution upon the smear approximately 1-3 minutes.

2.    Add 2.0 ml of distilled water or  Wright Stain Phosphate Buffer pH 6.8 and let the slide stand twice as long as in step 1.

3.    Rinse off the slide with water or Wright Stain Phosphate Buffer pH 6.8 until a faint pinkish red appears on the edges.

If a Giemsa appearance is desired, stain 10 minutes in one volume of Wright Stain Solution and 4 volumes of Wright Stain Phosphate Buffer pH 6.8.

4.    Dry thoroughly using bibulous paper to blot dry.

Allow the slide to dry at room temperature before examination.
