The Rankin Hybrid Hematoxylin is a universal stain that has been chemically engineered to produce quality results on a consistent basis with crisp, delineated detail.
Rankin's Hybrid Hematoxylin uses a pre-formed, pre-oxidized dye-lake - the chemistry is completed at the factory, not still happening in the bottle. Because no excess aluminum salts are sitting at their saturation point, there's nothing left to crystallize out, regardless of temperature or storage conditions.
