Abstract Wright-Giemsa staining is a common procedure that is performed routinely in hematology laboratories. Consistency in intra-laboratory staining quality is essential for accurate morphological interpretation of blood smears. Although the Wright-Giemsa stain can be challenging to perform, the methods illustrated here have provided consistent, high quality stains in the Special Hematology Laboratory at the University of Minnesota for over half a century. We outline methods for collecting blood specimens, preparing the slides and performing a Wright-Giemsa stain using our combination of reagents. Various techniques that have been passed down in our laboratory for troubleshooting suboptimally stained specimens are shared as well. |
