Description

Product identification
Azan trichrome histological staining kit
Product code: 04-001802
Pack size: 100 tests
Manufacturer: Bio-Optica

Key specifications
  • Intended use: routine histological connective tissue staining
  • Processing time: approx. 1 h 40 min (per run)
  • Shelf life: 2 years


Intended application and staining results
Preferred method for connective tissue sections; suitable for muscle fibers, glial elements, collagen, reticulum and glomerular stroma, erythrocytes and nuclear chromatin.
  • Collagen, reticulum, basophilic cytoplasmic granules: blue
  • Neurofibrils (neuroglia): reddish
  • Muscle: orange
  • Nuclei, erythrocytes, acidophilic pituitary granules: red
  • Delta‑cell cytoplasmic granules (pituitary): blue


Principle
The method combines cytological staining with an acid dye (azocarmine) and a contrasting aniline blue after mordanting with phosphotungstic acid. For optimal contrast, over-stain with azocarmine and differentiate slowly with anilinoalcohol to avoid predominance of the contrast stain.

Method (summary)
  • 1) Hydrate the section in distilled water.
  • 2) Incubate the section in reagent A in an oven at 56 °C for 30 minutes; remove and wait 5 minutes. Recover dye in vial A without filtering.
  • 3) Rinse in distilled water.
  • 4) Apply 10 drops of solution B to the section; leave for 1 minute.
  • 5) Drain on filter paper and apply 10 drops of reagent C to the section; leave for 1 minute.
  • 6) Drain on filter paper and apply 10 drops of reagent D to the section; leave for 30 minutes.
