Diff-Quik is a trade name - belongs to whatever Scientific Products is
called this week. It's often used generically for all two-stain
Romanowsky type stains, since there isn't a really satisfactory
generic name for them.

I've used several generic stains with separate eosin ("xanthine") and
blue ("thiazine") dye baths, and generally found them satisfactory.
But you do need to try them out for yourself.
