Versatile Biological Staining Solution

Aceto Orcein is renowned for its effectiveness in staining chromosomes and other cellular components during microscopic examinations. The reagents acidic pH (2.03.0) and high purity ensure precise and reproducible results in both cytogenetic and histological applications. Its complete solubility in water permits easy preparation and uniform sample penetration.

Safe Handling and Storage Recommendations

Given its classification as an irritant and pungent odor, Aceto Orcein must be handled with proper laboratory precautions, including gloves and eyewear. Store the solution in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, ideally between 1525C and away from sunlight. Glass bottles maintain its stability and strength, ensuring a shelf life of up to 24 months.

Flexible Packaging for Laboratory Needs

The reagent is available in standard pack sizes of 100 ml, 500 ml, and 1 litre, as well as custom volumes on request to accommodate specific research or educational requirements. Each batch aligns with laboratory reagent quality standards and is suitable for export, retail, and distribution across India and beyond.

FAQs of ACETO ORCEIN:

Q: How should Aceto Orcein be used in cytogenetic and histological staining procedures?

A: Aceto Orcein is typically applied directly to prepared biological samples, such as squashed root tips or tissue sections, to highlight chromosomes and other cell components. Follow established laboratory protocols for staining duration and subsequent washing to ensure optimal visualization.

Q: What measures should I take to safely handle Aceto Orcein in the laboratory?

A: As Aceto Orcein is classified as an irritant with a pungent acetic acid odor, it is essential to work in a well-ventilated area. Always wear gloves, safety goggles, and suitable protective clothing to avoid skin or eye contact.

Q: When does Aceto Orcein expire and how should it be stored to maintain stability?

A: Aceto Orcein has a shelf life of 24 months. For best results, store the solution between 1525C in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight. Keep the reagent tightly sealed in its original glass bottle.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity and available packing sizes for Aceto Orcein?

A: The minimum order quantity is 100 ml. Standard packaging includes 100 ml, 500 ml, and 1 litre glass bottles, with custom sizes available on request to suit specific laboratory requirements.

Q: Where is Aceto Orcein typically utilized, and what benefits does it offer over other stains?

A: Aceto Orcein is used in cytogenetic and histological laboratories, mainly within research, academic, and diagnostic facilities. Its high solubility, uniform staining, and reliable results make it an excellent choice for detailed cellular studies.

Q: What is the process for preparing Aceto Orcein solution for laboratory use?

A: Aceto Orcein is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid at 99% purity, requiring no further dilution. Simply dispense the required volume for immediate application on biological samples as per your laboratory protocol.
