Newcomer supply alcian blue pH 2.5, goblet cell control slides are for the positive histochemical staining of goblet cells as well as other acid epithelial mucins (sialomucin, sulfomucin)
Staining Results:
Goblet cells will stain bright blue.
Acid epithelial mucin will stain blue.
Nuclei will stain pink-red.
Cytoplasm will stain pale pink.
These positive control slides are intended to be used to verify histological techniques and reagent reactivity. These slides are to be used for the qualitative purpose of determining positive or negative results, and are not intended to be used for any quantitative purpose.
Goblet cells normally line the small intestine but are an abnormal finding in Barrett’s esophagus.
Ordering information: All controls are cut in serial sections.
10 set = 10 unstained slides and 1 stained slide.
98 set = 98 unstained slides and 2 stained slides. (First & Last Slides are Stained)
Reactivity of Histo control slides are guaranteed for one year from the date of receipt and should be revalidated after one year to verify continued reactivity.
Please note the following: In human tissue unless otherwise indicated. Histopathology control slides are not quality controlled for IHC methods, as such, we cannot guarantee antigenicity.
