Weigert’s Hematoxylin Kit (Solution A & B)
A nuclear staining solution containing, hematoxylin, ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid used in many non-routine techniques (special stains) because, it resists decolorization in acidic staining solutions. Ferric Chloride is a strong oxidizer, so it serves both as a mordant and oxidizer for Weigert's Hematoxylin.
