Application
Indicated method for viewing acid mucins.
Specificity: the reaction shows acid mucins (sialomucins and sulfomucins) whose acid
groups, at the reaction pH, take anionic form and are therefore capable of forming a
stable complex with positive trivalent iron.
Result
Acid mucins blue
Cellular nuclei red
