Acid Alcohol is used in histology and cytology to remove excess stain and define nuclei following hematoxylin staining in the H&E and PAP methods. In order to produce a good H&E stain with crisp nuclear detail, it is critical that certain Hematoxylins are differentiated correctly, making Acid Alcohol a highly effective solution. Acid Alcohol can greatly improve reproducibility of staining results and help achieve standardization.
