Masson Trichrome - 1715

The Masson Trichrome Staining Kit is elective for connective tissue staining. 

Connective tissue consists of a cellular part, made up of fibroblasts, fat cells, mast cells, and an extracellular matrix made up of collagen, reticulum and elastic fibers (elastin). Masson Trichrome staining allows for the differential staining of various connective tissue elements, thanks to cytoplasmic staining with Ponceau's solution that precedes the acid treatment required for the staining of collagen fibers: the aniline blue dye enters the acid in solution, allowing the progressive staining of the collagen itself and producing a very intense contrast.
