Weigerts Haematoxylin/Van Gieson Stain Kit
CE / IVD
This stain kit is used for the demonstration of collagen fibres. Van Gieson’s method is a mixture of two anionic dyes which impart one colour to collagen and another to cytoplasm including muscle fibres and erythrocytes. By using an iron haematoxylin (Weigert’s) which is an acid resitant nuclear stain, the Van Gieson counterstain produces the differential staining of the collagen and cytoplasm
