Special staining kits for histology and citology
-
TB-Stain Histo kit
Three-reagent kit for staining acid-fast bacteria (pathogenic mycobacteria) in histology sections, sputum, smears and culture smears according to Ziehl-Neelsen. Heating of the carbol-fuchsin solution is avoided in this protocol hence omitting the release of hazardous phenolic vapors.
-
UriGnost S kit
Kit for sampling, staining, and microscopic analysis of urine sediment. Contains modified reagent according to Sternheimer (reagent manufactured according to the European Confederation of Laboratory Medicine (ECLM) and all the necessary equipment for sampling, concentrating, staining, and counting cells and kidney cylinders, as well as urine sediment analysis (test tubes with retentive bottom, Eppendorf 200 μL pipette tips and urine plates).
-
UriGnost SM kit
Kit for sampling, staining and microscopic analysis of urine sediments. It contains modified reagent according to Sternheimer-Malbin and equipment required for sampling, concentration, staining, counting of kidney cells and kidney cylinders and urine sediment analysis (test tubes with retentive bottom, Eppendorf 200 μL pipette tips and urine plates).
-
Van Gieson Trichrome kit
Three-reagent kit for staining collagen fibers, muscle tissue, keratinized epithelium, cytoplasm, glial fibers and erythrocytes. Used for differentiation between collagen and smooth fibers in tumors and various other diseases.
-
Verhoeff kit
Six-reagent kit for detecting atrophy of elastic tissue in cases of emphysema, thinning and loss of elastic fibers in arteriosclerosis and other vascular diseases, or whether blood vessels have been invaded by a tumor.
-
Von Kossa kit
Five-reagent kit for simple and reproducible detection of calcium deposits and calcium salt in tissue samples according to Von Kossa. Tissue calcification is associated with metabolic problems in various tissues (like bone marrow and mamma) and in tumors.
-
Warthin Starry kit
Five-reagent kit for staining Spirochaeta, Helicobacter pylori, Microsporidia and Legionella pneumophila. The kit contains 12 jars with gelatin that enables both incubation and staining of sections, as well as other reagents that enable precipitation of silver on the bacterial surface. The bacteria are found in the mucus of the surface epithelium, in the apical gastric glands and in the gastric mucosa.
-
Weigert-Van Gieson kit
Six-reagent kit for staining elastic fibers with a prolonged incubation period. Used for differentiation between elastic tissue, collagen and other types of connective tissue.
