GIEMSA Buffer pH 7,2
GIEMSA buffer pH 7.2 is a chemical buffer widely used in medical diagnostics, histological procedures and scientific laboratories. The solution consists of aqua dist./VE water, di-sodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium benzoate.
The buffer is primarily used in hematology, especially in the staining of microorganisms and cell structures with Giemsa dye. In particular, the buffer is of great importance in the differential staining of blood smears for the identification of parasites and in cytogenetics for staining chromosomes. The chemical ingredients are di-sodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (Na₂HPO₄-2H₂O), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH₂PO₄) and sodium benzoate (C₇H₅NaO₂), which together form a stable aqueous solution.
The buffer system consists of two salts: sodium hydrogen phosphate (Na₂HPO₄) and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH₂PO₄). Due to their concentration and pH, they provide a stable environment for staining.
