Description

Description
Alcian yellow - Toluidine blue for Helicobacter pylori, 100 tests

Key characteristics / technical specifications
  • Product code: 04-169812
  • Product name: Alcian yellow - Toluidine blue for Helicobacter pylori
  • Pack size: 100 tests
  • Intended use: Histological staining kit for detection of Helicobacter pylori and epithelial mucins on gastric tissue sections
  • Recommended section thickness: 5 µm
  • Time to result: approx. 25 minutes
  • Shelf life: 2 years
  • Additional equipment: not required
  • Documentation available: Technical Datasheet, Safety Datasheet (SDS), CE Conformity


Intended use
  • Combined staining method for demonstration of Helicobacter pylori (blue) and epithelial mucins (yellow) on paraffin-embedded gastric tissue sections for optical microscopy.


Principle
Prior oxidation with periodic acid renders gastric epithelial mucins, normally not stained by Alcian-group dyes, highly reactive to Alcian yellow, forming an insoluble and stable complex. Bacteria are subsequently visualized using toluidine blue.
