Shirley, I'm not sure if this is what you want, but we just ordered Hema-Diff Rapid Differential Stain(a modified Giemsa/Romanowsky) from StatLabs. Consists of 3 solutions: Soltn 1: Fixative, Soltn 2: Xanthene Dye and Soltn 3: Thiazine Dye. They sell it in gallon size and pint size. The gallon size is $35.00 and the pint size (16oz) is $10.00.

My pathologist is contemplating another medical mission trip to Haiti and I need to locate a kit that she can take with her for blood smears. I have found a few upwards of $600 but she does not need a gallon of each of the solutions. If you know of a supplier of smaller volumes or even if you have protocols where you make your own, please share. Vendors comments are welcome if you contact me personally, please do not flood histonet with ads. Thanks in advance. Shirley Shirley A.
