About Wheaton 900620 Glass Rectangular 250mL Coplin
This Wheaton Staining Jar’s unique feature is the wide top. The design makes transferring slides convenient and it is especially suitable for staining slides that are inscribed on one end. The jar holds 8 single 3” x 1” (75mm x 25 mm) slides vertically or 16 slides back-to-back. Jar and lid are manufactured from soda-lime glass. Approximate inside dimensions (mm): 42 L x 26 W x 85 D. Wheaton offers a variety of staining dishes and Coplin jars suitable for various histology staining. Routine staining is performed to give contrast to the tissue being examined, as without staining it is very difficult to see differences in cell morphology. Hematoxylin and eosin (abbreviated H&E) are the most commonly used stains in histology and histopathology. Hematoxylin colors nuclei blue, eosin colors the cytoplasm pink. To see the tissue under a microscope, the sections are stained with one or more pigments. There are hundreds of various techniques which have been used to selectively stain cells and cellular components. Other compounds used to color tissue sections include Safranin, Oil Red O, Congo red, Fast Green FCF, Silver salts and numerous natural and artificial dyes that were usually originated from the development dyes for the textile industry.
