BGN001
A.F.O.G. kit
Six-reagent Acid Fuchsin Orange G kit for selective staining of glomerular protein deposits and collagen in kidney biopsies. Nuclear stain is obtained with Weigert ferric hematoxylin, cytoplasm with Orange G and highly selective collagen stain with Aniline blue.
BGN044
Alcian Blue – P.A.S. kit
Seven-reagent Alcian Blue – Periodic Acid-Schiff kit for staining acid mucopolysaccharides according to Mowry. Enables differentiation between acid mucins (stained light blue) and neutral mucins, glycogens and glycoproteins (stained red, magenta).
BGN045
Alcian Blue pH 1.0 kit
Three-reagent kit for staining heavily sulfated mucopolysaccharides. Slides are counterstained with Nuclear Fast Red (Kernechtrot) reagent to fully detect the presence of Alcian Blue positive staining.
BGN046
Alcian Blue pH 2.5 kit
Three-reagent kit for staining acid mucopolysaccharides according to Dorling and sulphated and carboxylated sialomucins blue. Slides are counterstained with Nuclear Fast Red (Kernechtrot) reagent to fully detect the presence of Alcian Blue positive staining.
Alcian Yellow Toluidine Blue kit
Six-reagent kit for staining Helicobacter pylori in gastric tissue sections. This method is one of the most popular non-silver methods for staining of H. pylori, where bacteria are stained blue in contrast to yellow mucins.
BGN002
Azan Trichrome kit
Five-reagent kit for connective tissue staining according to Mallory. Used for visualisation of muscle fibres, collagen, glial cells, glomerular cells and erythrocytes.
BGN038
Bio-Diff RTU kit
Ready-to-use three-reagent kit with reagents stored in containers that can be used as staining jars. Kit contains fixative agent, red and blue components for fast and effective staining and buffer tablet for consistent staining results.
BGN022
BioGram Histo kit
Five-reagent kit for identification of bacteria according to Gram. For differentiation between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in histology sections.
BGN047
Colloidal Iron kit
Six-reagent kit used for visualisation of carboxylated and sulphated groups of acid mucopolysaccharides and proteoglycans. This method can be combined with the PAS method; that way glycogen and neutral mucopolysaccharides would get differentially stained characteristically magenta.
BGN048
Congo Red Highman kit
Three-reagent kit for staining amyloids, characteristic for use of alkaline solution as differentiation medium in order to avoid undesirable non-specific colouration of cellular substances. Amyloid deposits display green colouration under polarised light.
BGN049
Congo Red Puchtler kit
Three-reagent kit for staining amyloids, characteristic by its high ionic strength and pH enhancing the specificity of Congo Red dye binding to amyloid clusters. This method developed by Puchtler remains the gold standard for amyloids in tissue sections. Amyloid clusters have the property of double refraction that enables green colouration under polarised light.
BGN003
Elastica-Van Gieson kit
Four-reagent kit for staining elastic fibres and differentiation between elastic tissue, collagen and other types of connective tissue. The rapid method enables a satisfactory result with shorter section staining time.
BGN039
Eosin and Nigrosin Vital kit
Two-reagent kit containing separate dyes for rapid detection of sperm vitality and simple visualisation of dead and living sperm cells. The Nigrosin stain provides dark background for easier recognition of both viable and non-viable spermatozoa.
BGN031
Feulgen kit
Five-reagent DNA staining kit according to Feulgen. For use in semiquantitative DNA determination in histological and cytological samples. The specimen is first treated with hydrochloric acid creating an aldehyde group of DNA that can be visualised by Schiff (BioSchiff) reagent. This reaction is specific for nuclear DNA.
BGN023
Field kit
Ready to use two-reagent kit for rapid and efficient staining and detection of parasites in haematology samples. Primarily used for staining thin and thick blood smears (dense drop) for purpose of diagnosing blood parasites. Reagents are stored in containers that can be used as staining jars.
BGN032
Fouchet-Van Gieson kit
Three-reagent kit for visualisation of bilirubin and collagen according to Kutllick. Bilirubin is a yellow-brown pigment, but changes to green due to oxidation induced by Fouchet reaction. Green bilirubin can easily be detected on yellowish and pink coloured background.
BGN024
Giemsa HP kit
Four-reagent kit for staining Helicobacter pylori in gastroscopic sections according to Lennart. Advantages of this method for detecting H. pylori are sensitive and reproducible results and easy performance.
BGN004
Gomori Trichrome kit
Five-reagent kit for staining muscle, collagen fibre and nuclei, contains blue counterstain. The kit can be used to contrast skeletal, cardiac or smooth muscle.
BGN033
Grimelius kit
Five-reagent kit for staining argyrophilic granules. Grimelius kit can be used for the detection of secretory intracytoplasmatic granules specific for carcinoid tumours and for identification of neuroendocrine cells.
BGN025
Grocott kit
Six-reagent kit for visualisation of fungi and histological argentaffin structures in general (such as basal membranes). Green counterstain provides clear and visually rich contrast to target structures stained black.
BGN005
H.B.F.P. kit
Three-reagent Hematoxylin-Basic Fuchsin-Picric acid staining kit for detection of cardiac muscle changes after ischemia or myocardial infarction. H.B.F.P. kit is a non-enzymatic histochemical technique for detection of early myocardial ischemia with vivid contrast.
