Staining & Mounting Flashcards
Components are demostrated by DIRECT INTERACTION with Dye or staining solution
HISTOLOGICAL STAINING
Components are studied through chemical reaction; for demonstration of CHEMICAL COMPONENTS
Histochemical / Histochemistry staining
Histochemical staining used for HEMOGLOBIN
Pearl’s Prussian Blue reaction
Histochemical staining used for Carbohydrates
Periodic Acid Schiff
Demonstrate tissue ANTIGEN
Immunohistochemical staining
This is a combination of immunologic and histochemical staining
Imunnohistochemical staining
Detection of phenotypic markers that are detected by antibody
Immunohistochemical
Staining technique that uses aqueous or alcoholic dye to produce color
Direct Staining
Type of staining techniques that uses one dye and color of the dye is usually the resulting color
TISSUE + DYE = COLOR
Direct Staining
Type of staining that uses MORDANT or ACCENTUATOR to produce color
Indirect Staining
Substance that serves as the link/bridge between the dye and the tissue
MORDANT
EXAMPLES OF MORDANT
Erlich
Cole
Mayers
Gills
ALUM ( potassium alum)
Iron
- Heidenhain = ferric ammonium sulfate
- Weigerts = ferrim ammonium chloride
Copper = copper
PTAH = phophotungstic acid
ALL ARE HEMATOXYLINS
Substance that INCREASES you he color intensity and selectivity of the dye
ACCENTUATOR
EXAMPLES OF ACCENTUATOR
KOH
Phenol in carbol fuchsin and carbol thionine
Staining technique that use gradual application of dye. Tissue elements is re-stained in DEFINITE SEQUENCE
Progressive staining
Dye is applied little by little until desired color is achieved
Progressive staining
This staining technique do not need DECOLORIZATION
Progressive staining
Tissue is overstained and excess dye should be removed using DECOLORIZATION
Regressive staining
Selectively removal of excess of dye
DECOLONIZATION OR DIFFERENTIATION
This is the most common DECOLORIZATION substance and can remove both ACID and BASIC dye
ACID ALCOHOL
This of type of staining technique that involves application of different color to produce contrast and background
counterstaining
This of type of staining technique that involves application of different color to produce contrast and background
counterstaining
Type of staining technique that stained tissue with a color that is DIFFERENT from the stain itself
Metachromatic staining
Which stain is not belong to Metachromatic staining
Methyl violet
Cresyl blue
Safranin
Nile blue
Methylene blue
Nile blue
This staining technique stained tissue with the SAME SHADE /HUE as that if the dye
Orthochromatic staining
Type of staining technique that is Selective to living cells
Vital staining
