Application
Method indicated for highlighting and differentiating acid mucopolysaccharides on tissue
sections. In order to distinguish sulfated mucins from weakly sulfated mucins, hyaluronic acid and sialomucins, the method requires the use of 2 serial sections. By treating the first with Alcian Blue pH 2.5 and the next with Alcian Blue pH 1 and then comparing the preparations, it is possible to differentiate the weakly sulfated mucins from sulfated mucins, hyaluronic acid and sialomucins.
Result
Acid mucopolysaccharides blue - turquoise
