Can I buy the reagents in Iron Stain Kit, Product HT20, separately?
The reagents included in this kit are not available for separate purchase.
Is EDTA an acceptable anticoagulant for use with the Iron Stain Kit, Product HT20?
Blood and bone marrow samples should be drawn without the use of EDTA as an anticoagulant. The EDTA chelates enough Iron to interfere with adequate staining. We advise using heparinized blood or freshly drawn blood which has not been anticoagulated.
Is it necessary to use the counterstain to view tissue Iron when using the Iron Stain Kit, Product HT20?
Iron in tissue samples (used for research) can be visualized without the Pararosaniline counterstain, which is used to allow improved visualization of the tissue.
Can the Iron Stain Kit, Product HT20, be used to stain cultured cells, rather than blood or bone marrow?
This kit can be used to stain cultured mammalian cells, which should be treated as blood or bone marrow and follow instructions given for specimen collection in the Package Insert. We advise using some sort of positive control.
