This product should be interpreted by a qualified pathologist in conjunction with histological examination, relevant clinical information, and proper controls.
This product is intended for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use. en Diastase digests the glycogen present in the tissue so it is washed out of the tissue before PAS staining occurs. Diastase digestion is used to differentially determine if the PAS positive component is glycogen.The VENTANA PAS kits use Periodic Acid reagent to oxidize glycols to aldehydes. The Schiff’s Reagent reacts with aldehydes to form a colorless dialdehyde compound that is transformed to the magenta staining of glycol containing cellular components.2
This kit is optimized for use on BenchMark Special Stains instruments. The reagents are applied to tissue on microscope slides and mixed over the entire specimen.
