Staining Kit

Staining kits are specialized reagents designed for histological, cytological, and pathological studies, and are used to visualize and differentiate specific structures or components in tissue sections, cell samples, or other biological materials.

 

MCE staining kits are developed based on classical histological staining principles with optimized formulations. By employing selective dyes or specific chemical reaction systems, these kits enable distinct color contrasts among different biological components such as cell nuclei, cytoplasm, lipids, collagen fibers, and elastic fibers, thereby allowing clear visualization of tissue architecture and cellular morphology. These kits feature simple operation, high reproducibility, and stable staining performance, and are widely used in histomorphological observation, pathological research, cell biology analysis, as well as related scientific research and educational applications.

MCE Oil Red O Staining Kit for Cultured Cells consists of Oil Red O staining solution and hematoxylin. It is used to demonstrate fat degeneration and abnormal lipid deposition in cultured cells, particularly when multiple neutral fat droplets are present within the cells. This kit helps in identifying lipid changes and their nature in cultured cells. It is important to note that samples should not be fixed with ethanol-containing fixatives, as ethanol may interfere with lipid staining. The positive staining result for fat typically appears orange-yellow to red, with the exact color depending on the lipid concentration.

In addition, this method can also be applied to the histological investigation and morphological observation of glomerular diseases, diabetic nephropathy, and other basement membrane–associated pathological changes.

Cat. No.: HY-K0612 Weigert Elastin Staining Kit

MCE Weigert Elastin Staining Kit combines Weigert Resorcinol Fuchsin Staining Solution with Van Gieson (VG) Staining Solution. Weigert Resorcinol Fuchsin Solution is mainly used for staining elastic fibers, Van Gieson (VG) Solution is used for collagen fiber staining. The principle of VG staining is based on differences in the size of anionic dye molecules and the permeability of tissues. Picric acid (PA) has the smallest molecular weight and preferentially enters dense structures. Ponceau Red or acid fuchsin has a relatively larger molecular weight and primarily binds to collagen fibers, while light green has the largest molecular weight and stains other tissue components. After VG staining, collagen fibers appear red, while muscle fibers and cytoplasm appear yellow, enabling a clear distinction between tissue components.
