Scott’s Tap Water Substitute

Scott’s Tap Water Substitute is a high-quality bluing reagent developed specifically for histology and cytology-based applications. It functions by gradually bluing the hematoxylin stain and minimizes loss of tissue sections and cells from the surface of glass slides. Scott’s Tap Water is formulated as an efficient yet gentle bluing reagent for staining, thus accounting for rapid and specific staining of nuclear components: chromatin and nuclear membranes. In comparison to the other commercially available bluing reagents, Scott’s water displays efficiency in decreasing the loss of adherent sample sections from glass slide surface.

Applications:
• Ready-to-use
• Used as a bluing agent in H&E staining procedures
• Extensively used in immunohistochemical assays
