Special Staining Kits - Carbohydrates
Alcian Blue pH 0.5
For demonstration of the very strongly sulphured mucins in tissue sections.
Alcian Blue pH 1.0
Method to show the strongly sulphured mucins only in tissue sections.
Alcian Blue pH 2.5
For demonstration of the acid mucopolysaccharides in tissue sections.
Alcian Blue pH 2.5 PAS
Integrated method to show acid mucins, neutral mucins and carbohydrates in tissue sections.
Enzymatic Digestion, Amylase
Removal of glycogen from tissue sections
Colloidial Iron
For demonstration of acid mucins which form a stable complex with trivalent iron thanks to the presence of their acid groups in anionic form.
Congo Red
Method to show amyloid in tissue sections.
Enzymatic Digestion, Diastase
Removal of glycogen in order to observe epithelial neutral mucins. This method is recommended for liver biopsy.
Mucicarmine
To show acid mucopolysaccharides of epithelial origin (mucins) in histologic sections
PAS - Pearse
P.A.S. reaction particularly designed to demonstration of alpha and beta cells on the pituitary gland.
PAS
To demonstrate normal and pathologic tissue components characterised by adjacent glycolic or aminohydroxylic groups.
PAS - Morel Maronger
For the demonstration of tissue components characterised by adjacent glycol or aminohydroxylic groupings and connective tissue.
Sirius Red
Method to show amyloid in tissue sections.
Sirius Red Picrate
For demonstration of collagen fibres and bilirubin in tissue sections.
