Minimum number of tests that can be performed 100 Completion time 60 minutes Shelf life 1 year Storage conditions 2-8°C Additional equipment Not required Application Digestion on a histological section with an amylase solution followed by PAS reaction is indicated when you want to remove the glycogen so as to observe only the neutral epithelial mucins. PAS/amylase reaction is the method of choice for evaluating the presence of glycogen in liver tissue on sections fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin, and in muscle tissue on cryostat sections. In both cases, the examination of adjacent sections, one of which has been treated with amylase, allows qualitative evaluation of the presence of glycogen.
