Newcomer supply Movat-Russell pentachrome control slides are for the positive histochemical staining of connective tissue elements, mucin, fibrin, elastic fibers, muscle, and collagen.
Staining Results:
Nuclei and elastic fibers will stain black.
Collagen and reticular fibers will stain yellow.
Ground substance and mucin will stain blue.
Fibrinoid, fibrin will stain intense red.
Muscle will stain red.
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.
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.
