  • Commercial name: Diastase
  • Description: Enzymatic digestion (diastase), 40 tests

Intended use
For enzymatic digestion on histological sections to remove glycogen and allow specific observation of neutral epithelial mucins. Preferred method for liver biopsy specimens in routine histopathology.

Diastase hydrolyzes starch and glycogen in tissue sections. Digestion on fixed tissue may be incomplete due to particular glycosidic bonds formed during conventional fixation, with granular precipitation of glycogen at a pole of hepatocytes.
