How to do a hematology stain (Wright-Giemsa stain) Laboratory Tutorial Procedure

Wright-Giemsa Stains, also known as Romanowsky Stains, are stains used in hematology and cytological studies to differentiate cells in microscopic examinations of peripheral blood and bone marrow specimens.
These stains can also be applied to detect the presence of parasites in the blood when rapid results are needed, such as for the detection of the Plasmodium parasite that causes malaria.
There are a variety of Romanowsky stain types that apply the same principle. They include:
1. Giemsa stain
2. Wright and Wright-Giemsa stain
3. May-Grunwald stain
4. Leishman stain

Tell me the preparation of giemsa liquid before staining

[@user-ly7jy5jr6e]

The video on the One step stain is confusing, it says you do not need to use buffer, yet you say to put it in the buffer. Very confusing.
