Special staining kits for histology and citology
-
Picro-Sirius Red kit
Three-reagent kit for collagen staining and visualization in histology. Contains Sirius Red dye which enhances collagen birefringence so it can easily be identified by observing the section under polarized light.
-
Reticulin Contrast kit
Nine-reagent kit for detecting argyrophilic reticulin fibers according to Gordon and Sweets. The kit contains gold chloride solution that enhances visualization of reticulin fibers and it also contains Nuclear Fast Red (Kernechtrot) reagent that enables fine contrasting background.
-
Reticulin kit
Seven-reagent kit for detecting argyrophilic reticulin fibers. It clearly differentiates between collagen and reticulin and nerve fibers and connective tissue. The main function of reticular fibers is to provide support and are normally found in liver, lymph nodes, spleen and kidneys.
-
Rhodanine kit
Four-reagent kit for detecting copper and copper-associated protein (CAP) in patients suffering from Wilson’s disease. Abnormal copper accumulations are predominately found in liver tissue, but can also be found in the brain and cornea of the eyes.
-
Safranin O kit
Four-reagent kit for identification of cartilage, mucins and mastocyte granules used in histology and cytology.
-
Sperm-Diff RTU kit
Ready-to-Use three-reagent kit with reagents stored in containers that can be used as staining jars. Kit contains a fixative reagent, red and blue components for fast and effective staining.
-
Sudan Black B kit
Four-reagent kit for staining neutrophil granules in hematological smears (blood or bone marrow films). Used as one of the methods for detecting myelocytic and myelomonocytic leukemia.
-
Sudan Black B Lipid kit
Four-reagent kit for specific lipid staining in cytochemistry. Sudan Black dye stains a few types of lipids, including neutral fats, phospholipids and sterols. It contains a double amount of Sudan Black B, solution.
