Periodic Acid, 0.5%

Periodic Acid, 0.5%, Buy TriStains Solutions for Histology, Cytology, Microbiology, Hematology & Biology Lab from TriStains.

Periodic Acid, 0.5% is a clear, colorless solution that is commonly known as the Orthoperiodic Acid. The solution is widely employed as a precursor reagent in the Periodic Acid- Schiff (PAS) staining reaction before the use of the Schiff Reagent. Periodic Acid is an efficient oxidizing agent and has high usage in histological and biomedical research laboratories. It forms part of many special staining kits, including P.A.S., Alcian Blue -P.A.S., P.A.S.M. / Jones, Grocott, and Weigert-Van Gieson staining kits.

Applications

• It is a popular reagent in histology as the oxidizing agent in the Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) technique that involves the oxidation of biopolymers with the 0.5% Periodic Acid solution. The staining is mostly used to identify polysaccharides, glycogen, glycoproteins and other carbohydrate-rich structures in tissues by use of PAS staining.
• Periodic Acid (H5IO6) is an essential part of the P.A.S. technique as it oxidizes aldehydes, mucopolysaccharides, and mucoproteins to a prominent purple or magenta color.
• Moreover, the Alcian Blue-P.A.S. technique involves the use of Alcian Blue stain and Periodic Acid and Schiff Reagent to distinguish between acidic and neutral mucosubstances.

Key features

• Effective staining agent: Very effective and dependable oxidizing reagent to use in histological staining.
• Laboratory reagent of high quality: Ready-to-use formulation of high purity.
• Predictable and dependable performance: Gives consistent, reproducible, and staining outcomes.

General Description

Periodic Acid, 0.5% is a high-quality, ready-to-use lab solution created to be used in histology and cytology. Its high oxidizing ability makes it use its carbohydrate residues to produce reactive aldehydes, which react with the Schiff Reagent to give a strong magenta color. This renders it an absolutely valuable reagent in both PAS-based staining processes and Alcian-P.A.S., P.A.S.M., Grocott and Weigert-Van Gieson staining packages.
