H & E stain

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Stainning to desired intensity and stopping the stain   Progressive Stain  
🗑
Tissue is overstained,decolorized or differentiated until desired components contrast w/the background   Regressive Stain  
🗑
Not enough hematoxylin,not stained long enoug,stain overoxidized (old),differentiated too long, bones overdecalcified   Pale nuclei  
🗑
Hematoxilyn too dark, stained too long, sections too thick, differentiation too short   Nuclei overstained  
🗑
Hematoxylin broken down, slides not blued long enough   Red/brown Nuclei  
🗑
PH of eosin is over 5.0, section too thin, dehydrated too long   Pale staining w/eosin  
🗑
sections stained too long, dehydrated too quickly, eosin concentrated, sections too thick   Cytoplasm overstained  
🗑
Metal sheen - unfiltered hematoxylin   Blue/Black percipitate on slide  
🗑
Dont let slides dry out, keep solutions covered, keep absolute alcohol covered, filter hematoxylin, rinse sections well after ammonia waterso the ph of eason will not become basic, dont dehydrate slides too quickly or the eosin will not be differentialted   H & E helpful hints  
🗑
fixation, infiltration w/paraffin, staining   3 steps of tissue preparation  
🗑
terminate cell metabolism, prevent autolysis, kill viruses, bacteria fungi   4 purposes of fixation  
🗑
water soluble   hematoxilyn  
🗑
alcohol soluble   eosin  
🗑
nuclei show coalescense of chromatin   nuclear bubbling  
🗑
hematoxylin, absolute ethyl alc, ammonium aluminum sulfate, Distilled water, Mercuric oxide   Harris hematoxylin  
🗑
Aluminum   Harris hematoxylin (mordant)  
🗑
mercuric oxide   Harris hematoxylin chemical ripening agent  
🗑
sodium iodate m/b used instead of mercuric oxide. (sodium iodate is recommended)   Harris hematoxylin  
🗑
(solution A)Ammonium aluminum sulfate, di water, (solution B) hematoxylin, alcohol 95%   Delafied hematoxylin  
🗑
solution A - saturated ammonium aluminum sulfate, Solution B - hematoxylin, age 3-6 mths and test for readiness   Delafied hematoxylin  
🗑
Aluminum   Delafied hematoxylin mordant  
🗑
oxidation occurs naturally with exposure to light and air.   Delafied hematoxylin  
🗑
alcohol functions to preserve   Delafied hematoxylin  
🗑
glycerol stabilizes solution agains overoxidation and aids in preventing rapid evaporation   Delafied hematoxylin  
🗑
hematoxylin, di water, sodium iodate, ammonium or potassium aluminum sulfate, citric acid and chloral hydrate   Mayer hematoxylin  
🗑
aluminum   Mayer hematoxylin mordant  
🗑
sodium iodate   Mayer hematoxylin oxidizer  
🗑
citric acid is added to adjust the pH   Mayer hematoxylin  
🗑
citric acid and chloral hydrate help to prevent scum and precipitates that form   Mayer hematoxylin  
🗑
hematoxylin, alc 95%, di water, glycerol, ammonium or potassium aluminum sulfate, glacial acetic acid   Ehrlich hematoxylin  
🗑
aluminum   Ehrlich hematoxylin mordant  
🗑
ripening c/b accomplished naturally or chemically   Ehrlich hematoxylin  
🗑
this hematoxylin gives a very sharp nuclear stain and m/b used progressively, more commonly used regressively   Ehrlich hematoxylin  
🗑
di water, ethylene glycol, hematoxylin anhydrous, sodium iodate, aluminum sulfate, glacial acetic acid   Gill hematoxylin  
🗑
Ethylene glycol is excellent solvent for hematoxylin   Gill hematoxylin  
🗑
ethylene glycol prevents formation iof surface precipitates   Gill hematoxylin  
🗑
sodium iodate is oxidizer and aluminum sulfate is mordant   Gill hematoxylin  
🗑
crystillanin hematoxylin m/b used instead of anhydrous hem.   Gill hematoxylin  
🗑
Goblet cells will stain with   Gill hematoxylin  
🗑
Solution A - Ferrich chlorided, di water, hydrochloric acid, solution B -hematoxylin, alcohol 95%.   Weigert hematoxylin  
🗑
Celestine blue m/b substituted for hematoxylin in H&E procedure   Weigert hematoxlyin  
🗑
Dye mordant lake is formed   Weigert hematoxylin  
🗑
iron is the mordant   Weigert hematoxylin  
🗑
used progressively 5 to 30 minutes   Weigert hematoxlin  
🗑
negatively charged - anionic,dyes that combine w/cationic positive charged tissue groups   plasma stains  
🗑
most widely used nuclear stain   hematoxylin  
🗑
most widely used plasma stain   eosin  
🗑
mordant/dye combination   lake  
🗑
basic amino acids   arginine, histidine, lysine  
🗑
arginine, histidine, lysine   combine w/eosin. (plasma stain)  
🗑
