Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure provides methods for carrying out Romanowsky-type stains, specifically Wright-Giemsa and May-Grünwald stains, quickly and efficiently. The methods greatly reduce the overall amount of time required to complete a Wright-Giemsa stain or a May-Grünwald stain of sufficient quality on a biological sample. The subject methods can be applied to both manual and automated staining procedures.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An automated staining system for performing a Wright-Giemsa stain on one or more samples, comprising: a sample application subsystem that applies a sample to a substrate; a fixation reagent bath; a Wright-Giemsa staining reagent bath; a rinse reagent bath; a sample transfer subsystem for moving the substrate from the sample application subsystem, to the fixation reagent bath, to the Wright-Giemsa staining bath, and then to the rinse reagent bath; and…
