Modified Wright Method

Intended Use
The Modified Wright method is for in vitro diagnostic use in the differential
staining of blood, bone marrow and body fluid smears on the ADVIA Autoslide
Slide Maker Stainer. Stained smears are evaluated to identify and quantify cells
in whole blood and other specimens to aid clinicians in the assessment of various
clinical conditions.
Summary and Explanation
The reagent protocol for the Autoslide Slide Maker Stainer consists of a modified
polychrome methylene blue-eosin stain and is based on the original stain
proposed by Romanowsky.
