Schmorl's Stain Kit
The Schmorl's Stain Kit is intended for use in the histologic visualization of reducing substances including melanin and argentaffin cell granules.
This product utilizes a Turnbull blue reaction. Ferric iron ions are reduced to ferrous ions by reducing substances in the tissue. Ferrous iron combines with ferricyanide to form an insoluble blue ferrous ferricyanide product.
