Abstract. BOND research instruments provide the flexibility you need to explore new possibilities, accurate results to ensure nothing is missed, and rapid, cost-effective operation so you can perform more tests. 0000014224 00000 n HT]o0}NO4Mj4j$$VPONn9>8_lNa]{pe0 @C6iA'InIS Other than routine haematoxylin and eosin stain, various special stains are now essential parts in routine laboratory works. This is always done as part of the staining process. There is constant pressure to quickly produce reliable results. Our purpose is to enable researchers to accelerate their journey, transforming scientific exploration into translational outcomes. In this silver impregnation stain for reticulin, the fibers are poorly demonstrated and there is a background scum (precipitate) on the slide. Use microscopic control at crucial stages such as differentiation steps. A section of liver stained with PAS. Figure 16: Gomori Trichrome (green) (submucosa). The giemsa stain can be helpful for identifying components in a variety of tissues.

Fewer resources, more to do, and less time to get work done. Figure 8: Masson's Trichrome (skin). Delicate reticular fibers, which are argyrophilic, can be seen. Trichrome stains are used to stain and identify muscle fibers, collagen and nuclei. Use of special stains for tissues not only aids in distinguishing structural alterations of tissues but also alerts the physician to alterations in tissue function highly relevant to making a diagnosis, such as abnormal deposition or iron, abnormal deposition of protein [amyloidosis, paraproteinemia, etc., abnormal accumulation of glycogen or All our reagents are stored on the shelf above the staining bench. For example, mast cell graules, cartilage, mucin, and amyloid will stain purple and not blue, which is helpful in identifying these components.

It stains acidic, or basophilic, structure including the cell nucleus (which contains DNA and nucleoprotein) and organelles that contain RNA such as ribosomes and the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The term special stains has long been used to refer to a large number of alternative staining techniques that are used when the H&E does not provide all the information the pathologist or researcher needs. Bacteria appear on H and E as blue rods or cocci regardless of gram reaction.

Whether delivering clinical diagnostics or the next research breakthrough, every moment matters. However, much of the lipid in mycobacteria is removed by tissue processing, so this stain can, at times, be very frustrating and cause you to search extensively for organsisms you are sure are in a big granuloma.
