Kit: FONTANA MASSON’s Silver Nitrate 5 %
The Fontana Masson kit is a special staining solution used in histology and pathology for the identification and visualization of melanin, argent affine granules, carcinoid tumors and fungal infections. It is based on a 5% silver nitrate solution that is used in combination with other reagents and reducing agents to stain these specific structures.
The main application of this kit is the identification of melanin, a pigment produced in melanocytes. This may be relevant in the diagnosis of pigmentary disorders or the study of precursors to black skin cancer (melanoma).
In addition, the Fontana Masson kit allows the visualization of argent affine granules found in certain neuroendocrine tumors, such as carcinoids. These tumors can occur in the digestive tract and lungs and are characterized by their ability to produce biogenic amines and peptide hormones.
In addition, the kit is also useful in identifying fungal infections. The staining allows fungal structures to be visualized within tissue specimens, which can be helpful in diagnosing mycoses.
The Fontana Masson kit provides a reliable and effective method for the examination of melanin, argentaffin granules, carcinoid tumors and fungal infections in histological specimens. The 5% silver nitrate solution is a central component of the kit and enables selective staining of these structures. In combination with further reagents and reducing agents, a precise and meaningful visualization of the target structures is achieved.
