Oil Red O Stain Kit (For Fat) is intended for use in the histological visualization of fat cells and neutral fat. This kit may be used ONLY on frozen tissue sections, fresh smears, or touch preps.

The Orcein Stain may be used in histology procedures for the visualization of Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg), elastic fibers, and copper associated proteins. HBsAg appears as irregular shaped aggregates in the cytoplasmic region of the cells. This reagent may be used on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections.

The Papanicolaou (PAP) Stain Kit is designed to differentiate between a variety of cells in vaginal smears for detection of vaginal, uterine and cervical cancer. In addition, this procedure is valuable for staining a variety of other bodily secretions and cell smears. The procedure was developed in the early 1940's by George Papanicolaou.

The Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Diastase Stain Kit is intended for use in histological demonstration of lymphocytes and mucopolysaccharides. The a-Amylase digestion step acts on glycogen to break it into smaller sugars that are then washed off the tissue section allowing visual comparison of digested and undigested slides. The PAS reaction in tissue sections is useful for the demonstration of mucopolysaccharides.

The Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) for Fungus Stain Kit is intended for use in histological demonstration of fungal organisms in tissue sections. The PAS reaction is also useful in the demonstration of lymphocytes and mucopolysaccharides. The staining patterns of the lymphocytes are helpful in making therapeutic decisions in established cases of lymphocytic leukemia.

The Picro-Sirius Red Stain Kit (For Cardiac Muscle) is intended for use in the histological visualization of thin septa and collagen fibers. This modification of the Picro-Sirius Red stain eliminates the yellow cytoplasmic staining that can obscure thin collagenous septa. Using this procedure easily allows viewing of collagenous septa as thin as 0.2-0.5 microns. The SRC stain may be viewed using standard light microscopy or polarized light resulting in birefringence of the collagen fibers.

The Picro-Sirius Red Stain Kit (For Collagen) is intended for use in the histological visualization of collagen I and III fibers in addition to muscle in tissue sections. The PSR stain may be viewed using standard light microscopy or polarized light resulting in birefringence of the collagen fibers.

The Pneumocystis Stain Kit is intended for use in the histological visualization of Pneumocystis carinii in cytology smears and paraffin tissue sections. Pneumocystis carinii is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe pulmonary disease in humans, dogs, rats, mice and other vertebrate species with acquired, induced, or inherited immune deficiency syndromes. In addition, this procedure will demonstrate Actinomyces and related species, Nocardia asteroids, and certain encapsulated bacteria.

This kit is designed to demonstrate many collagen, fibrin, muscle striations, cilia and glial fibers without using Zenker's Fixative as a mordant.

The Reticulum Stain Kit is intended for use in histological demonstration of reticular fibers. The main function of reticular fibers is to provide support. They are normally found throughout the body, particularly in liver, lymph node, spleen and kidney. Ammoniacal silver stains are the most commonly used methods for demonstration of reticular fibers.

The Reticulum Stain Kit (Modified Gomori's) is intended for use in histological demonstration of reticular fibers. The main function of reticular fibers is to provide support. They are normally found throughout the body, particularly in liver, lymph node, spleen and kidney. Ammoniacal silver stains are the most commonly used methods for demonstration of reticular fibers.

The Schmorl's Stain Kit is intended for use in the histologic visualization of reducing substances including melanin and argentaffin cell granules. 

The Steiner Stain Kit (For Spirochetes) is designed for demonstrating Fungi, Helicobacter Pylori, Legionella pneumophila, and Spirochete infected tissue. Kit may be used on formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.

The Sudan Black B kit is intended for use in the histological visualization of fat cells and neutral fat. This kit may be used ONLY on frozen tissue sections, fresh smears, or touch preps as xylenes and alcohols will dissolve fat deposits.

The Trichrome Stain Kit (Modified Gomori's) is intended for use in the histological visualization of collagenous connective tissue fibers in tissue sections. The Gomori Trichrome is a more simplified procedure than other more traditional trichromes. Additionally, this procedure is useful in the assessment of the degree of fibrosis in liver biopsies.

The Trichrome Stain Kit (Modified Masson's) is intended for use in histology laboratories for the staining and subsequent visualization of collagenous connective tissue fibers in tissue sections. This Trichrome Special Stain kit may be used on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections.

The Trichrome Stain Kit (with Iodine) is intended for use in the histological visualization and differentiation of collagen in tissue sections. Gram's Iodine is offered as an alternative to Bouin's Fluid post fixative, and is significantly less hazardous. Iodine post-fixation improves the color and staining of collagen and is comparable to trichrome kits that utilize Bouin's. No nuclear counterstain is included with this kit. This kit is intended for use on formalin-fixed sections.

The Twort's Counterstain Kit is intended for use in histology procedures such as the Gram Stain to provide contrast for easier visualization of various cell components in tissue sections.

The Twort's Gram Stain Kit is designed for positive and negative gram bacteria differentiation in formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues. Gram negative bacteria stain pink to red, gram positive stain blue, and the background is stained light green.

The Warthin-Starry Stain Kit is intended for use in the visualization of Spirochetes, Helicobacter pylori, Legionella pneumophila, and Cat Scratch Fever bacteria. This kit may be used on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections.

Wright-Giemsa Stain Kit is intended to be used for differential staining of blood smears, bone marrow and blood parasites.
