Eosin-Y (Intensified), iCON™ Staining System

Our iCON™ Alcoholic Intensified Eosin-Y has the attributes of traditional Eosin-Y stains with the exception of its pH balanced technology. Intensified eosin-Y features a pH range of 4.6 to 5 results in eosin staining, three shades of pink to red and resolves the problem of inconsistent eosin staining. When the pH of eosin is below pH 4 it binds nonspecifically to proteins causing the stained cytoplasm to appear muddy.

iCON™ Alcoholic Intensified Eosin-Y produces a wide range of color intensities and staining brilliance. Resolving the problem when working with a number of pathologists that require different cytoplasmic staining intensities. Stanning time intervals of fifteen seconds to one minute will progressively increase the contrast and density of the stained cytoplasm. Intense bright eosin staining is achieved by a brief rinse in 80% or 70% alcohol directly after eosin and then proceed to anhydrous alcohols for complete dehydration prior to clearing. Pastel cytoplasmic eosin staining is achieved by reducing staining time in the eosin (fifteen seconds to one minute) and then proceeding directly to anhydrous alcohols prior to clearing.

This stain may be used on all automatic stainers as well as in manual staining. iCON™ Intensified Eosin-Y is a universal stain and may be used with standard hematoxylin and eosin staining procedures as well as frozen section staining. It is designed to provide superior contrast between cytoplasmic components and nuclear chromatin.

Strict quality assurance standards of analytical chemistry and performance testing confirms consistent results will be achieved by the end user throughout the products extended shelf life of two years.
