Description

Trichrome stain is one of the most highly utilized special stains in the histopathology laboratory. Most of common uses for trichrome staining are liver biopsies, renal biopsies, dermatopathology, cardiac biopsies and muscle and nerve biopsies. Gomori’s trichrome is a one-step staining procedure that combines plasma stain (chromotrope 2R) and connective fiber stain (fast green FCF) in a phosphotungstic acid solution to which glacial acetic acid has been added. This kit is designed for both formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and f rozen tissue section.
