HARLECO^® hematology stains

HARLECO^® products stand for 90 years of quality in staining solutions and ancillary products for the hematology lab. Our extensive range of products meet the needs of your routine laboratory work and many other special applications. Most HARLECO^® dry stains and solutions closely resemble the classical formulations. We also offer complete lines of sample preparation products and some of the new formulas for safer fixatives and sample handling.

Hemacolor^® rapid staining

Our sophisticated Hemacolor^® range can help you to quickly stain and differentiate blood smears. Whether manually performed or automated, Hemacolor^® solutions and kits allow you to efficiently achieve the brilliance, and reproducibility of Pappenheim staining in only 30 seconds.

• Hemacolor^® solutions and kits contain buffer tablets plus 3 ready-to-use, highly stable solutions (fixing, red, and blue solutions).
• Individual Hemacolor^® rapid staining solutions are also available
• The auto-Hemacolor^® stain system was designed for automatic blood and bone marrow smear staining in conjunction with the Hematek^® slide stainer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics).

Cytochemical reagents and kits

We have pioneered the technique of cytochemistry demonstrating numerous clinically important cellular enzymes by commercially introducing stabilized diazonium salts, and substituted naphthol substrates. We have also introduced stabilized base solutions (Fast Red Violet LB base, Fast Blue BB base and Fast Garnet GBC base) that allow you to easily adjust working reagent volumes according to your needs. All our kits are provided in convenient, easy-to-use formats, and may be used for clinical and research purposes.

HEMATOGNOST Fe^® staining kits

Localize cell components and assay enzymatic activity in blood using our complete range of ready-to-use cytochemical staining reagents. These high-quality solutions enable reliable and optimal visualization of enzyme cytochemistry and pathological changes in a patient’s blood. HEMATOGNOST Fe^® kits detect free ionic iron (Fe³⁺) in cells via the Prussian blue (Berlin blue) reaction that allows diagnosis of various conditions including hemochromatosis, asbestosis or bone marrow diseases.
