(Nuclear counterstain for acidic special stains)

Stains acid epithelial mucin (sialomucin, sulfomucin) as well as stromal (mesenchymal) mucin. Hyaluronidase digestion step can be employed for further differentiation of acid epithelial from stromal mucin.

Differentiates between acidic epithelial mucins (sialomucin, sulfomucin) and neutral epithelial mucin and is a means of detecting the overall presence of mucins.  Acidic mucins are stained with the Alcian Blue technique while neutral mucins and glycogen are stained by the PAS reaction.

Stains acid epithelial mucin (sialomucin, sulfomucin) and is also useful for the demonstration of the encapsulated yeast Cryptococcus neoformans.

• • • Microwave Modification Included

A straightforward silver technique for identification of glomerular and tubular basement membranes in renal tissue.

• • • No Titration!
    • Microwave Modification Included

Used to demonstrate pathologic changes in elastic fibers as well as demonstration of normal elastic tissue such as arteries and veins.

A silver stain for demonstration of reticular fibers.  Useful in the differential diagnosis of certain types of tumors.

Uses a one-step solution combining a plasma stain and a connective tissue stain to differentially demonstrate collagen and muscle fibers.

(use: Hematological Staining & Special Stain for Helicobacter pylori)

Differential staining of peripheral blood smears, touch imprints, fine needle aspirations (FNA), bone marrow biopsy aspirations, as well as detecting  Helicobacter pylori sp. in GI tissue.  Can be used for smears, touch imprints and tissue sections.  This is a modification of the Wright Giemsa Stain technique using aqueous based stain solutions and a methanol fixative.  Procedures for both monochromatic and polychromatic versions of the Differential Stain are provided.

• • • Shelf Life is 2 years from date of manufacture.

Stains fungus and glycoproteins. Polysaccharides present in fungal cell walls are oxidized by the periodic acid to aldehydes. The aldehydes then react with Schiff Reagent, McManus to yield magenta colored fungi.

Used for differential staining of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in tissue sections, cultures and smears.

• • • No Picric Acid!
    • Safer, faster, more efficient

Used to screen and detect Helicobacter pylori in gastrointestinal biopsy specimens.

A silver stain for identifying spirochetes, Helicobacter pylori, Legionella pneumophila, other nonfilamentous bacteria and fungus.

• • • Faster, more efficient
    • Microwave Modification Included

Stains nerve fibers, neurofibrils/tangles, senile plaques and axons.  Used in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders.

Identifies the extraneous protein deposits in amyloidosis. The use of polarizing lenses is the essential technique for visualizing amyloid positive areas and/or to confirm negativity.

• • • Microwave Modification Included

Used for the detection of copper and copper-associated protein (CAP) in tissue sections.

• • • Microwave Modification Included

Used to detect loosely bound ferric iron in tissue sections. This histochemical reaction is sensitive enough to demonstrate minute amounts of iron deposits in blood cells, bone marrow and spleen.
