Precise Carbohydrate Visualization: Schiff's Reagent, when used in conjunction with periodic acid, reacts specifically with aldehyde groups formed from the oxidation of 1,2-glycol groups in carbohydrates, producing a characteristic magenta or reddish-purple color. This allows for clear detection of:
Glycogen: Essential for assessing metabolic states and diagnosing glycogen storage diseases.
Mucins: Crucial for identifying glandular tissues, goblet cells, and various pathologies involving mucus production.
Glycoproteins & Glycolipids: Components of basement membranes, brush borders, and fungal cell walls.
Essential for PAS Reaction: As the chromogenic component of the PAS stain, our Schiff's Reagent enables the clear and reliable visualization of a wide array of tissue components, including basement membranes, fungal organisms, and neutral mucopolysaccharides.
High Purity & Sensitivity: Manufactured to stringent histology-grade standards, ensuring minimal impurities and optimal reactivity. This guarantees high sensitivity for detecting target molecules and clean, artifact-free staining.
Consistent Performance: Every batch of VION Histology Grade Schiff's Reagent undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent reactivity and dependable results, providing reproducibility across all your diagnostic and research applications.
