Description
The Richard-Allan Scientific Reticulin Silver is designed to identify and visualize reticular fibers in tissue sections using a modified Gordon and Sweet method. This kit includes essential reagents such as ammoniacal silver solution, which selectively impregnates reticular fibers through a series of oxidation and reduction reactions.
The staining process involves several steps, including the preparation of a working ammoniacal silver solution, toning with Nuclear Fast Red for enhanced nuclear detail. The resulting stained solutions exhibit black reticular fibers against a contrasting background, facilitating clear visualization. This kit is suitable for histological applications and is essential for laboratories focusing on connective tissue analysis and pathological studies.
