Stains basement membrane and reticulum fibers in just 20 minutes.

This kit includes a 20 minute microwave procedure and the traditional one hour and thirty minute procedure. This kit is suitable in lieu of and comparable to the Periodic Acid/Methenamine Silver Procedure for Basement Membranes. The MasterTech Jones Stain Kit differs from this procedure by using Nuclear Fast Red as a counterstain instead of Light Green, which provides better contrast. A Methenamine Silver Developer Solution serves as the primary stain, with Gold Chloride toning the tissue sections, producing gray to black basement membranes and reticulum fibers against a pink to red background with red nuclei, counterstained by Nuclear Fast Red. There is no filtration required when using MasterTech Nuclear Fast Red.

• KTJON 100ml Stain Kit yields between 30-112 slides.
• KTJONPT Pint Stain Kit yields between 50-240 slides.
