Typical professional applications include:
The reagent should be used according to the current Biolab RAPID-PAP instructions and the laboratory's validated staining SOP.
Papanicolaou staining is a multi-stage cytology staining process that includes nuclear staining, cytoplasmic staining and subsequent slide-processing steps before mounting and microscopic examination.
Within the Biolab RAPID-PAP system, the Dehydrant is used during the dehydration / processing stage after the relevant nuclear and cytoplasmic staining steps.
Its role is to support removal of residual water from the stained slide before subsequent processing, clearing and mounting according to the laboratory's validated procedure.
The Biolab RAPID-PAP product family includes:
Important: Biolab's current public product page does not publish the exact chemical composition or standalone contact time of RAPID-PAP Dehydrant. Refer to the current bottle label / IFU for definitive technical instructions.
After staining, cytology slides may contain water that must be appropriately removed before later clearing and mounting stages.
The dehydration stage helps prepare the stained slide for:
Incomplete dehydration or incorrect processing can affect slide clarity and staining appearance.
