Chemistry:May–Grünwald stain

From HandWiki
May Grünwald–Giemsa staining of bone marrow cells taken from a patient with hereditary folate malabsorption, from a case report by Yukari Sakurai et al., 2022[1]

May–Grünwald stain is used for the staining of slides obtained by fine-needle aspiration in a histopathology lab for the diagnosis of tumorous cells.[2][3]

Sometimes, it is combined with Giemsa staining, yielding Pappenheim staining (May-Grünwald-Giemsa staining).[4]
