Applications and Experiments for the Coplin Staining Jar
The Coplin jar is used for staining smears on microscope slides: up to 10 slides of 26 x 76 mm stand in the stain or solvent, the glass cover goes on during each step, and the slide ends above the rim allow each slide to be moved to the next jar by hand.
- DMLT and B.Sc. MLT practicals: staining blood, bacterial or sputum smears through a row of jars, timing each bath with a Mechanical Timer 60min.
- B.Sc. microbiology: Gram and acid-fast staining exercises in a set of jars, one per reagent.
- Histology and cytology teaching: dehydration and clearing of slides in organic solvents under a closed glass cover.
- Rinsing slides between baths with water from a Plastic Wash Bottle 250ml.
Many stains and organic solvents are toxic or flammable: use the jars under supervision in a ventilated area, keep the cover on between steps, and wear gloves.

The item is one Coplin-type staining jar for 10 slides of 26 x 76 mm with its glass cover. Stains, solvents and slides are separate purchases; slide racks, cover glasses and storage boxes can be added to the same quotation if you are fitting out a staining bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many slides fit in the jar?
The jar holds 10 slides of 26 x 76 mm. Because the slides extend above the opening, each one can be taken out by hand without forceps when it moves to the next stain.
Can the jar be used with organic solvents?
Its glass cover withstands stain and organic solvents. Keep the cover closed during each step, work in a ventilated area, and follow the safety data for the solvent you are using.
How many jars does a staining set-up need?
That depends on the method: a multi-step stain normally uses one jar per reagent and rinse. List the steps of your method in the enquiry and the quotation can cover a jar for each.
Who supplies the Coplin Jar Staining?
The jar is a bought-in item that Science Lab Supplies supplies from Ambala, India. Jars can be quoted on their own or with racks and slides, and dispatched for laboratories, contractors and distributors in India or overseas.
