Description
The Richard-Allan Scientific Alcian Blue/PAS Stain Kit is designed for the detection of both neutral and acidic mucosubstances in tissue sections. This kit includes three key components: Alcian Blue pH 2.5 stain solution, 0.5% periodic acid solution, and Schiff reagent.
Alcian Blue stains acid mucins and other carboxylated and sulfated mucosubstances blue, while the PAS reaction highlights glycogen, basement membranes and nuetral mucosubstances in magenta. This dual staining capability allows for comprehensive analysis of tissue composition. The kit is user-friendly and suitable for various histological applications, making it an essential tool in pathology laboratories.
