Description

Rankin Bluing Reagent is buffered to a pH of 8; this closely controlled pH balanced solution provides consistent and rapid bluing of hematoxylin-stained nuclei without the risk of losing tissue sections from slides. It also allows for a higher throughput of slides. High pH bluing reagents may detach tissue sections from slides, this becomes a critical factor with frozen sections when limited tissue sections are available.

This pH-balanced bluing reagent enhances nuclear chromatin detail and initiates an insoluble dye-lake complex with nuclear chromatin, resulting in a permanent crisp blue-purple stained nucleus. It is universal and may be used with progressive and regressive hematoxylin stains.

When using the Rankin Bluing Reagent with a standard staining protocol, only thirty seconds to one minute exposure time is required and a one-minute water rinse after bluing. When used for frozen sections, a reduced time of five to ten seconds is sufficient with a water rinse of only twenty seconds. The time required for this reaction is significantly less than standard bluing reagents making it ideal for use in frozen sectioning when time is a critical factor.

Our bluing reagent is a clear colorless solution that is stable for winter shipments in cold climates. It's not a concentrate and does not require diluting before use. Additionally, an antimicrobial agent is added allowing for a shelf life of two years.

Cute shelf set!
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Shelves look great in my room. Perfect amount of space to display my little travel trinkets. Super easy to install and seem to hold a good amount of weight as I have a Mason Jar full of sand/shells on one of them.

I only needed 3 of the 4 shelves so I have one as a backup! Very easy to install as well. The shelves feel sturdy and I’ve never had any issues!

quality matches cost + instructions unnecessarily tedious
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
The material is real wood but don't assume that means quality - it's still very cheap feeling, and very lightweight. But once installed they are quite stable, and they look great from afar. I got a darker colored one and the stain does come off very easily. One of the shelves had a huge manufacturer sticker on it and it took off the stain when I removed it, and a bit of the stain also came off when I wiped the shelves down with a wet cloth. It'll be dry dusting from now on, I suppose. Also, they did not fit snugly into the corner - when one side is pushed flush to the wall, it forces the other side to pull away from the wall a little bit. It wasn't a drastic space, maybe like 1/8th of an inch, but it is still something to note. I am fine with the cheap quality as they are, after all, pretty cheap, so I'd say they are worth exactly as much as they cost. Personally I am happy with the purchase - just thought I'd warn. Secondly - if you want to follow the instructions exactly, you will need two people unless you have inhuman agility. But I also think the instructions were a bit asinine and tedious. They want you to line up the LOOSE shelf and brackets with a leveler to mark where the brackets go on the wall, then put in the wall screws, hang the brackets on them, balance the shelf on the brackets to mark on the SHELF where the brackets will be attached, take the brackets off the wall to screw them into the shelf, then put the combined shelf-bracket unit once again on the wall screws and finally screw those in tight. In hindsight, you can just mark where the brackets should go on the SHELF (not wall), screw the brackets into the shelves, THEN level the shelf on the wall and screw the whole unit into the wall together. We were really baffled why the instructions didn't have us do that instead of spending extra time (and frustration) trying to juggle all the loose pieces and tools. But I'm not engineer-minded, nor have I ever installed corner shelves before, so maybe there would be some kind of issue with doing it that way that I can't predict.

Good shelving decor
Color: Black
Easy to install and perfect for a corner display of Disney decor. They are lightweight, so we didn't put anything heavy on them, but the brackets seem sturdy enough that we could probably put something moderately weighty on them.
