Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods for carrying out Romanowsky-type stains, specifically Wright-Giemsa and May-Grünwald stains, quickly and efficiently. The methods greatly reduce the overall amount of time required to complete a Wright-Giemsa stain or a May-Grünwald stain of sufficient quality on a biological sample. The subject methods can be applied to both manual and automated staining procedures.

Claim (Index 59):
An automated staining system for Wright-Giemsa or May-Gr\u00fcnwald staining of one\n or more samples, comprising:\n a fixation reagent bath comprising a fixation reagent: \n a staining reagent bath comprising a Wright-Giemsa staining reagent or a May-Gr\u00fcnwald staining reagent, wherein the Wright-Giemsa staining reagent or the May-Gr\u00fcnwald staining reagent \n comprises thiazin and eosin compounds:\n a substrate; \n one or more samples; and \n a sample application subsystem that applies one or more samples to a substrate; and \n a computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to control a sample transfer subsystem such that the sample transfer subsystem places the substrate having the one or more samples applied thereon\n in the fixation reagent bath to fix the one or more samples, and \n in the staining reagent bath comprising the Wright-Giemsa staining reagent or the May-Gr\u00fcnwald staining reagent to stain the one or more fixed samples with the Wright-Giemsa staining reagent or the May-Gr\u00fcnwald staining reagent.
