Hematoxylin, iCON™ Staining System

iCON™ Hematoxylin is a universal stain that has been chemically engineered to produce quality results on a consistent basis with crisp, delineated detail. This hematoxylin can be used on all automatic stainers and used in manual staining. Nuclear staining intensity and density can be increased or decreased progressively by increasing or decreasing staining time by 1/2 minute intervals. Generally, after six minutes of staining time, nuclear intensity and density is not increased.

iCON™ Hematoxylin offers a strong competitive benefit over other hematoxylins, including its proprietary design to be used as a progressive or regressive nuclear stain. When used for routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, iCON™ Hematoxylin is used as a regressive stain; for frozen sections, progressive. On occasion, it is used as a progressive or regressive stain for special stains, and regressive for immunohistochemistry (IHC).

When used as a nuclear counter stain in IHC, it should be noted that iCON™ Hematoxylin is compatible with 3,3’-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) and 3-Amino-9-thylcarbazole (AEC), used as chromogens in the staining procedures.

iCON™ Hematoxylin has been oxidized for maximum performance and contains a stable dye-lake component that does not crystalize. The dye-lake solvent suppresses precipitate and the formation of a metallic sheen. It does not require filtering prior to use and does not form crystals upon long term storage or shipping in cold weather. This feature contributes to consistent reliable results slide after slide, day after day, week after week and consistent reliable slide through-put even after-long term storage. iCON™ Hematoxylin contains no mercury and has a shelf life of eighteen month at room temperature.
