Special Staining Kits - Collagen and Connective Tissue
Afog - Acid Fuchsin Orange G
Standard procedure for visualisation of glomerular protein deposits in kidney biopsies.
Azan Trichrome
Method for connective tissue, especially to show muscle fibres, glial fibres, collagen, reticulum, kidney glomerular stroma, erythrocytes and nuclear chromatin
Mallory Trichrome
Procedure for showing connective tissue including collagen, reticulum, cartilage, bone and amyloid.
Masson Trichrome
Method for connective tissue demonstrating gametes, nuclei, neurofibrils, neuroglia, collagen, keratin, intracellular fibrils, and negative image of Golgi apparatus.
Masson Trichrome - Goldner
Method for connective tissue showing gametes, nuclei, neurofibrils, neuroglia, collagen, keratin, intracellular fibrils, and negative image of Golgi apparatus. Suitable for black and white microphotographs.
Orcein
To demonstrate elastic fibres in tissue sections, especially in vascular studies.
Perls Van Gieson
To show ferric iron, collagen and connective tissue.
Phosfotungstic Acid Haematoxylin
Used to differentiate between smooth and striated muscular tissue by staining isotropic bands of skeletal muscle myofibrils and to show fibrin.
Picro Mallory
