The vital stain
kit is a most general slide staining set for general
biology. Vital staining refers to a technique
where a dye, or series of dyes, are used to stain
cells and tissue for observation under the microscope.
These stains are chosen specifically because of
their ability to be used on living cells without
killing them. The stain kit includes 30mL of each
of the following stains in a 1% alcohol solution:
Bismarck Brown, Brilliant Cresyl Blue, Cupric
Acetat, Cupric Sulfate, Janus Green, Methylene
Blue and Neutral Red.
