Automated Giemsa Staining of Slides

摘要

Giemsa staining is used to stain the nucleus of cells, particularly blood cells, and is paramount as a diagnostic tool in, for example, the determination of the phenotype of leukaemia cells and the identification of internal parasites (e.g. malaria, toxoplasmosis). Specialized oncology or haematology laboratories are faced with large quantities of such samples that must be processed quickly.
