General description

The Reticulin silver plating kit according to Gordon & Sweets -for the detection of reticular fibers in histological tissue specimens, can be used to visualize human reticular fibers, which are components of membrane structures, capillaries and peripheral nerve fibers, as well as organs such as the liver, kidneys and hematopoetic organs. Fibers that can not be adequately visualized using an H&E stain may be rendered visible through a silver plating stain. Reticulin visualization with the silver stain acc. to Gordon and Sweets gives greater contrast and sharpness against the background. Gordon & Sweets′ silver stain for reticulin may be followed by nuclear staining with nuclear fast red-aluminum sulfate solution 0.1 % (Product number 1.00121) when nuclei, collagen and the background are to be stained in addition to the reticular fibers.
The kit is sufficient for up to 110 section slides. It is an IVD registered product and is CE certified, thus, it can be used in an accredited laboratory. For more details, please see instructions for use (IFU). The IFU can be downloaded from this webpage.
