Product Details
Brand: StatLab

Stains acid mucins, neutral mucins, and glycogen in 60 minutes.


This kit contains a specially optimized Schiff’s solution which eliminates the Sulfurous rinse step, commonly found in similar stain kits on the market. This reduces staining time and exposure to sulfite fumes. Alcian Blue and Schiff’s serve as the primary stains, producing blue to purple stained acid mucins and pink to red neutral mucins or glycogen with blue nuceli counterstained by Hematoxylin.


  • KTAPA 100ml Stain Kit yields between 80-100 slides.
  • KTAPAPT Pint Stain Kit yields between 320-500 slides.
  • KTAPALT Liter Stain Kit yields between 680-1,000 slides.
