AmScope SK-6 vital stain kit is our most general slide staining set for general biology. Vital staining refers to a technique where a dye, or series of dyes, are used to stain cells and tissue for observation under the microscope. These stains are chosen specifically because of their ability to be used on living cells without killing them.

The stain kit includes 30mL of each of the following stains in a 1% alcohol solution:

Bismarck Brown

Brilliant Cresyl Blue

Cupric Acetate

Cupric Sulfate

Janus Green

Methylene Blue

Neutral Red
