Minimum number of tests that can be performed 100 Completion time 60 minutes Shelf life 2 years Storage conditions 15-25°C Additional equipment Graduated pipette Application Method indicated for demonstrating elastic fibers on histological sections, particularly indicated for vascular pathology Result Elastic fibers purple - brown Nuclei red Product for the preparation of cyto-histological samples for optical microscopy. To demonstrate elastic fibres in tissue sections. Recommended for vascular pathology. PRINCIPLE The method is based on the affinity towards elastic fibres displayed by the dye resulting from a reaction between resorcin and basic fuchsin in the presence of ferric chloride. Since this is not a specific method, other structures such as collagen and basal membranes might be stained. Therefore, it is essential to differentiate carefully in order to obtain a selective marked staining of elastic fibres.
