Product Features
Application
The Alcian Blue (pH 2.5) Stain Kit is intended for use in the histological visualization of sulfated and carboxylated acid mucopolysaccharides and sulfated and carboxylated sialomucins (glycoproteins).
Staining Principle
Alcian blue is the most specific stain showing acidic mucus substances. This cationic dye forms salt linkage with acidic groups. The different pH values of the stain liquid can be used to distinguish the mucous substance. When the pH is 1, the carboxyl group (-COOH) is not stained, and the sulfonic acid group (-SO3H) is stained. When the pH is 2.5, the carboxyl group stained well but the sulfuric acid mucus stained.
Product Advantages
a) Bright staining Color
b) No precipitates and insoluble substances in each component reagent; Great stability.
Suggested Controls (not provided)
– Small Intestine, Appendix, Colon
Procedure
1. Deparaffinize sections if necessary and hydrate to distilled water.
2. Incubate slide in Acetic Acid solution for 3 minutes.
3. Stain tissue section with Alcian Blue Solution (pH 2.5) solution for 30 minutes at room temperature or 15 minutes at 37° C.
4. If desired, rinse slide briefly in Acetic Acid solution to remove excess Alcian Blue.
5. Rinse for 2 minutes in running tap water followed by 2 changes of distilled water.
6. Stain tissue section with Nuclear Fast Red Solution (Enhanced Stability) for 5 minutes.
7. Rinse for 2 minutes in running tap water followed by 2 changes of distilled water.
8. Dehydrate through graded alcohols.
9. Clear, and mount in synthetic resin.
