Stains for electron microscopy
All stains are EM grade
| Ammonium molybdate | – | Irritant. Negative stain. |
| Indium trichloride | – | Corrosive. Metal stain for nucleic acids. |
| Lanthanum nitrate | – | Oxidising, irritant. Used to prepare colloidal lanthanum hydroxidecontaining fixatives for the demonstration of intercellular spaces. |
| Lead acetate. Toxic | – | Metal stain for TEM, used for in-block and thin section staining. |
| Lead citrate | – | Toxic. For the preparation of a simplified lead stain. The most widely used metal stain for ultrathin sections. Lead Citrate is a restricted chemical and can only be shipped within the EU. |
| Lead nitrate | – | Oxidising, toxic. Metal stain for ultrathin sections. |
| Methylamine Tungstate | – | 1g |
| Phosphomolybdic acid | – | Oxidising, corrosive. Positive and negative stain. |
| Phosphotungstic acid | – | Corrosive. Positive and negative stain. |
| Potassium pyroantimonate | – | Harmful |
| Ruthenium red | – | Positive stain. |
| Sodium silicotungstate | – | Negative stain. |
