methanol for fixing the smear and acetone free to avoid cell membrane lysis
Acetone-free absolute alcohol is used in Leishman stain to prevent the denaturation of cellular components and ensure better stain retention. Acetone can cause precipitation of proteins and alter the staining results, whereas acetone-free alcohol provides a more stable environment for staining.
regular acetone, acetone with enriched formula (protein for the nail), maximum strength acetone, non-acetone, gel nail polish remover, artificial nail polish remover, acetone for dry brittle nails, powder-acetone free nail polish remover, list goes on and on. You can find them @ your local drug store.
When using acetone with gloves, it is important to wear chemical-resistant gloves made of materials like nitrile or neoprene to protect your skin. Additionally, ensure that the gloves are in good condition and free of any holes or tears that could allow the acetone to come into contact with your skin. It is also recommended to work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to acetone fumes.
Nonstaining iodine is a type of iodine solution that does not contain iodine in a free form that can bind to skin proteins, which is why it does not stain the skin. This means that it is less likely to leave a visible mark on the skin compared to traditional iodine solutions.
Acetone (2-propanone, propanone, or other names) has CH3COCH3 as its chemical formula. But it shares that formula with propionaldehyde (propanal). The two chemicals are structural isomers, and they have clearly different chemical properties. That's why we have a scheme for the structural formula of an organic compound. Since we can't "draw" here, use the link to a nice picture of the structural formula of acetone. The information is provided by our friends at Wikipedia, where knowledge is free.

first coming to the composition of lieshmans stain isLEISHMANS POWDER[eosinate of methylene blue] DISSOLVED IN ACETONE FREE METHYL ALCOHOL.the main function of this lieshmans stain is it is used to stainblood smear,containing various blood cells such as RBC,WBC,PLATELETS.it mainly stains WBC present in this blood.helps in counting various types of WBC such asagranulocytes,and granulocytes.AGRANULOCYTES;monocytes,lymphocytes.GRANULOCYTES;acidophils,basophils,neutrophils.that is it mainly help in counting differential count.DIFFERENTIAL COUNT;nothing but the counting various types of leucocytes.also helps in knowing the normal count of each leucocyte.ACIDOPHILS;1-4%BASOPHILS;0-1%NEUTROPHILS;40-60%MONOCYTES;6-8%LYMPHOCYTES;20-40%thus the main use of leishmans stain is to stain blood smear which helps in counting differential count.
because giemsa stain is a mixture of methyl acetate Eosin and azure b. it doesnot contain any fixative that is why we use methanol to fix smear during giemsa stain other stain like lieshman contain acetyl free methyl alcohol as a fixative so it does not need to fix slide stain with lieshman stain.
No. Don't eat acetone, please.

No not all nail varnish removers contian acetone. You can get an acetone free nail polish remover from tesco's. It will say on the fron of the bottle that it is acetone free. I asure you it works just aswell as the other stuff as i use it myself x
Leishman stain is composed of a mixture of methylene blue and eosin Y dissolved in methanol. It is commonly used in laboratory settings to stain blood smears for microscopic examination, especially in the diagnosis of parasitic infections such as leishmaniasis.
Methanol is a nonconducting solution because it does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. In order for a solution to conduct electricity, it must have free-moving ions that carry the electric current, which methanol lacks.
Most nail polish remover is made from 100% acetone. Just read the bottle, because some varieties are acetone free. You can purchase it in larger quantities at hardware stores.
Use acetone (found in nail polish remover, unless yours is acetone free).
regular acetone, acetone with enriched formula (protein for the nail), maximum strength acetone, non-acetone, gel nail polish remover, artificial nail polish remover, acetone for dry brittle nails, powder-acetone free nail polish remover, list goes on and on.

acetone, and it is damaging because it is very harsh and drying. try to buy a polish remover that says "acetone free"
