STAINING Flashcards
acidic
nucleus
basic
cytoplasm
classification of staining
histological staining
histochemical staining
immunohistochemical staining
DIRECT INTERACTION between the COMPOSITION of tissues and STAIN SOLUTION being used in the process
histological staining
look for a STRUCTURE of the tissue by applying dye through a CHEMICAL REACTION
histochemical staining
combination of immunologic and histochemical techniques allowing to look for PHENOTYPIC MARKERS onto the tissues
immunohistochemical staining
special procedures rarely performed in the lab
histochemical staining
immunohistochemical staining
methods of staining are not only applicable in HP lab but also in
bacteriology
hematology
DIRECT STAINING:
sections are stained with
simple Aqueous or Alcoholic solutions
link or bridge between tissue and dye; integral part in indirect staining
mordant
involves the usage of MORDANT for the stain to INTERACT OR STAY on the tissue
indirect staining
not participate in the staining (indirect) reaction; accelerate speed of staining
accentuator
follows a definite sequence; conc. is ALWAYS increasing
progressive staining
differentiation relies on the SELECTIVE AFFINITY OF DYES
progressive staining
tissue is OVERSTAINED; decolorize
regressive staining
regressive staining:
used to check for the presence, size of any bacteria
Gram’s stain
regressive staining:
look for the presence of mycobacterium tuberculosis
acid fast staining
3 classes of differentiators
acid differentiator
oxidizing differentiator
mordant differentiator
forms a SOLUBLE SALT with the METAL so the latter (metal) is dissolved out
acid differentiator
oxidizes the dye to a COLORLESS substance
oxidizing differentiator
primary stain is basic, decolorizer is acidic vice versa
mordant differentiator
acts as a differentiator for both basic and acidic dye
alcohol
stains tissue w a color that is different from that of the stain itself
metachromatic staining
metachromatic staining:
produces red purple on mast cell
toluidine blue
metachromatic staining:
blue green on reticulocytes
cresyl blue
application of a different color or stain to provide CONTRAST AND BACKGROUND STAINING
COUNTERSTAINING
counterstaining:
cytoplasmic
EOSIN PiLi
eosin y
picric acid
lissamine green
counterstaining:
nuclear
(Red Hema Saf)
neutral red
hematoxylin
safranin O
general RELATIONSHIP OF TISSUES AND CELLS
microanatomical staining
microanatomical staining:
bacterial morphology
negative staining
microanatomical staining:
structures found in cytoplasm and nucleus
cytoplasmic staining
demonstration of tissue elements by the USE OF METALLIC SALTS (colorless soln)
metallic impregnation
produce an OPAQUE of BLACK deposits on the tissue
METALLIC SALTS
metallic impregnation:
part of the tissue that had bacteria on it
black deposists
SELECTIVE STAINING of living cells
vital staining
vital staining:
RER
trypan blue
vital staining:
mitochondria
janus green
done by INJECTING THE DYE into any part of animal body
intravital staining
intravital staining:
demonstrate the uterus in the gravid helminths in parasitology
india ink
stains living cells immediately after removing from the living body
supravital staining
stains used in supravital staining
methylene blue
trypan blue
neutral red
janus green
2 categories of dyes
natural dyes
synthetic dyes
natural dyes
hematoxylin
cochineal dyes
orcein
saffron
synthetic dyes
aniline
most valuable stain used
hematoxylin
active coloring agent (will not be considered as stain without undergoing an oxidation or ripening process
hematin
hematoxylin is derived from
hematoxylin campechianium
