Coplin Staining Jar
Product Code : LSK-CL-11236
Coplin Staining Jar (SKU LSK-CL-11236) is a staining jar that holds 10 microscope slides of 26 x 76 mm upright, supplied with a glass cover that withstands stains and organic solvents. The slides stand taller than the opening, so they can be lifted out without forceps. It is used for staining smears on microscope slides, a basic commodity for clinic and hospital laboratories, and it suits staining practicals in MLT and biology courses. Science Lab Supplies offers it from Ambala, India, to laboratories, colleges and distributors.
Specifications
The table covers each specification of the 10-slide Coplin jar. To summarise, it takes ten standard 26 x 76 mm slides, which project above the rim for handling by hand, and closes with a supplied glass cover that resists stains and organic solvents during smear staining.

Applications and Experiments for the Coplin Staining Jar
The jar is filled with a stain, fixative or rinse, and up to ten slides are stood in it so every smear is immersed for the same time. Because the slides rise above the opening, they can be moved from jar to jar by hand, and the glass cover limits evaporation between steps.
- DMLT and BMLT practicals: staining blood and other smears in a sequence of jars, using dyes such as those in the Stains and Reagents for Microscopy set.
- Identifying each slide before staining with a Diamond Marker.
- Drying stained slides afterwards on a Slide Drying Rack with 12 numbered positions.
- B.Sc. biology and microbiology: batch staining of prepared smears for microscopy.
Many stains and organic solvents are toxic or flammable: use the jar in a ventilated area, wear gloves, keep it covered, and work under supervision.
