Studies on Giemsa Staining. I
Zen-ichiro Kochi, Yoshiyuki Ozato · YAKUGAKU ZASSHI · 1955
The blood staining with the Giemsa solution markedly varies by the pH of the liquid used for dilution. The use of a buffer in place of distilled water makes it possible to obtain a clear stain by eosine and azure staining. It is proposed that the quality of the Giemsa stain solution be judged by the state of staining of normal blood corpuscles at pH 5.8.
