Alcian blue/PAS control slides contain a section of positive staining small intestine.
- Tissue Type: (+) small intestine
- All control tissue is sectioned on Superfrost® Plus slides
- Staining validation technical memo included in each set
- All tissues are formalin fixed, paraffin embedded FFPE
- All slides are air dried
- Histo slides are cut at 4 µm, unless otherwise specified
- Standard tissue placement is mid-high on slide
Newcomer supply alcian blue/PAS control slides are for the positive histochemical staining and differentiation of acidic epithelial mucins (sialomucin, sulfomucin), stromal (mesenchymal) mucin, neutral mucins and glycogen.
Staining Results:
Acid epithelial mucins will stain violet.
Neutral epithelial mucin will stain magenta.
Glycogen will stain magenta.
Stromal (mesenchymal) mucin will stain blue.
Nuclei will stain pale blue.
These positive control slides are intended to be used to verify histological techniques and reagent reactivity. These slides are to be used for the qualitative purpose of determining positive or negative results, and are not intended to be used for any quantitative purpose.
Ordering information: All controls are cut in serial sections.
10 set = 10 unstained slides and 1 stained slide.
98 set = 98 unstained slides and 2 stained slides. (First & Last Slides are Stained)
Reactivity of Histo control slides are guaranteed for one year from the date of receipt and should be revalidated after one year to verify continued reactivity.
Please note the following: In human tissue unless otherwise indicated. Histopathology control slides are not quality controlled for IHC methods, as such, we cannot guarantee antigenicity.
