Kit: VERHOEFF’s Staining Solution
Verhoeff staining solution is a histological staining method specifically designed to visualize elastic fibers. It is widely used in histology and pathology to visualize elastic fibers in tissue sections.
The Verhoeff staining solution is prepared by mixing three components in a 3:2:1 ratio. These components are the alcoholic hematoxylin solution, the ferric chloride solution, and the potassium iodide solution. The tissue sections are stained in this mixture to highlight elastic fibers.
The result of Verhoeff staining is a representation of elastic fibers in blue-black, while collagen fibers and cell structures appear in other colors. This staining is particularly useful in the study of vascular, lung, or skin tissue, where elastic fibers play a significant role in tissue structure and function. Verhoeff staining can also be used to assess changes in elastic fibers in various disease states such as aneurysms, emphysema, or skin aging.
