Colloidal Iron, Multi-Tissue Histo Positive Control Slides, Newcomer Supply

Colloidal iron, multi-tissue control slides contain sections of positive staining small intestine and positive iron staining animal spleen.

Tissue Type: (+) Small Intestine / (+) Iron, Animal
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 colloidal iron, multi-tissue control slides, use a combination of tissue sources for the positive histochemical staining of acid epithelial mucins (sialomucin, sulfomucin) and stromal (mesenchymal) mucin in small intestine and ferric iron in spleen.

Staining Results:
Acid epithelial mucins will stain blue.
Stromal mucin will stain blue.
Ferric iron deposits will stain bright blue.
Collagen will stain red.
Muscle and cytoplasm will stain yellow.

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.

: 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.
