Overview

A well-preserved or fixed slide with adequate exposure to 95% alcohol or a commercial spray fixative is highly recommended for optimal staining results. OG-6 has a specific affinity for keratinized cells and will not stain other cellular constituents. When used in conjunction with EA stains, the end user can expect traditional staining results that are consistent and familiar. Stain filtering is recommended to remove cells shed off of slides in the cytology staining process

• OG-6 is a traditional formulation that, when used with various EA products, will provide familiar staining results for gynecological and non-gynecological specimens.
• Modified OG is used in conjunction with EA products for staining gynecological and non-gynecological specimens. This formulation is optimized to reduce precipitate formation and staining times common with traditional OG-6 formulations.Modified OG and Modified EA, when used together, will reduce filtering and staining times.
• Use OG stains with EA-36 or EA-50 when staining gynecological specimens
• Use OG stains with EA-65 for staining non-gynecological specimens
