| Tizzoni's stain | <technique> A stain used as a test for iron in tissue; the tissue is treated with a solution of potassium ferrocyanide and then with dilute hydrochloric acid; a blue colouration indicates the presence of iron. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Toison's stain | <technique> A blood diluent and leukocyte stain containing methyl violet, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, and glycerin; also used for erythrocyte counts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trichrome stain | <technique> Staining combinations which usually contain three dyes of contrasting colours selected to stain connective tissue, muscle, cytoplasm, and nuclei in bright colours; generally, tissue sections are first dyed in iron haematoxylin before being treated with the other dyes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Eranko's fluorescence stain | <technique> Exposure of frozen sections to formaldehyde which produces a strong yellow-green fluorescence from cells containing norepinephrine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trypsin G-banding stain | <technique> A unique chromosome staining technique, used in human cytogenetics to identify individual chromosomes, which produces characteristic bands. It utilises acetic acid fixation, air drying, denaturing chromosomes mildly with proteolytic enzymes, salts, heat, detergents, or urea, and finally Giemsa stain; chromosome bands appear similar to those fluorochromed by Q-banding stain. Synonym: Giemsa chromosome banding stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Jenner's stain | <technique> A methylene blue eosinate similar to Wright's stain but differing in not using polychromed methylene blue; used for staining of blood smears. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kasten's fluorescent Feulgen stain | <technique> A fluorescent modification of the Feulgen stain, utilizing any one of a variety of fluorescent basic dyes to which SO2 is added; the brilliant fluorescence makes this method unusually sensitive and adaptable to cytofluorometric quantification of DNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kasten's fluorescent PAS stain | <technique> A fluorescent modification of the periodic acid Schiff stain for polysaccharides which uses one of Kasten's fluorescent Schiff reagents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ziehl-Neelsen stain | <technique> A method for staining acid-fast bacteria using Ziehl's stain, decolorizing in acid alcohol, and counterstaining with methylene blue; acid-fast organisms appear red, other tissue elements light blue; a modification of this stain is also used for Actinomycetes and Brucella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ziehl's stain | <technique> A carbol-fuchsin solution of phenol and basic fuchsin used to demonstrate bacteria and cell nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kinyoun stain | <technique> A method for demonstrating acid-fast microorganisms, using carbol fuchsin, acid alcohol, and methylene blue; acid-fast microorganisms appear red against a blue background. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Unna-Pappenheim stain | <technique> A contrast stain consisting of a methyl green-pyronin solution; originally used for gonococci, but later used to detect RNA and DNA in tissue sections; RNA is stained red and DNA appears green; used to demonstrate plasma cells during chronic inflammation. See: methyl green-pyronin stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Unna's stain | <technique> An alkaline methylene blue stain for plasma cells, a polychrome methylene blue stain with which mast cells are stained red (metachromatic). (05 Mar 2000) |
| Unna-Taenzer stain | <technique> An orcein solution used for staining elastic tissue. Synonym: Unna-Taenzer stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kleihauer's stain | <technique> A combination of aniline blue and Biebrich scarlet red used for detection of foetal cells in the maternal blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
