  • Quick III™ Fixative Solution (16 oz)
  • Quick III™ Solution I (Eosin) (16 oz)
  • Quick III™ Solution II (Thiazine) (16 oz)

Also available: 4 oz ADI Set for smaller-scale applications.

 

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Quick III™

Specimen: Blood smears (fresh, uncoagulated venous or arterial blood recommended)

Procedure:

  1. Submerge slide in Fixative Solution for 30 seconds; air dry.
  2. Dip slide 5 times (1 second each) in Solution I (Eosin).
  3. Repeat with Solution II (Thiazine).
  4. Rinse with deionized water; air dry before microscopy.
