Staining Kit: Congo Red after HERTIE

Staining kit: Congo Red according to HERTIE is a specialized staining kit for use in medical diagnostics, histology and scientific laboratories. It consists of Kongorot stock solution II, alcoholic saline solution with 1.5% NaCl and sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) 1%. This combination enables precise staining of amyloid deposits in tissue samples.

The chemical properties of the staining kit are based on the interaction of Congo Red with amyloid structures and the use of sodium hydroxide solution to enhance staining. The alcoholic saline is used to dehydrate the specimens and support the quality of the staining.

The application of the staining kit: Congo red according to HERTIE allows the identification of amyloid deposits in histological specimens. This is particularly useful in the diagnosis of diseases associated with amyloid deposits, such as Alzheimer's disease or systemic amyloidosis. The reaction of the dyes and other solutions within the staining kit results in visible staining that provides valuable diagnostic information.
