The Diff-Quik™ staining set contains solutions for the rapid staining of sperm morphology samples. By consecutive brief immersions in the solutions, the previously air-dried smears are fixed and stained in only 15 seconds.

By varying the number of dips in the appropriate staining solution, different degrees of shading and intensity are easily obtained.
