A.F.O.G. kit is used for staining kidney biopsies. It can be used instead of P.A.S.M. kit because it consists of Aniline Blue, Orange G and Acid Fuchsin combination of dyes. If the kit is used with tissues fixed in formalin, muscle tissues are stained red instead of green.
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.

P.A.S. Diastase Kit
BioGnost’s P.A.S. Diastase kit is most commonly used for identifying glycogen in liver. Periodic acid enables the molecules containing glycol groups to create aldehydes affected by Schiff’s reagent staining them violet (magenta). Specific stains are created by applying the PAS method on unsubsti-tuted polysaccharides, mucoproteins and glycoproteins, glycolipids and phospholipids. Alpha-amylase enzyme (also known as diastasis) is used for differentiation between glycogen and other PAS-positive structures by dissolving 1→4 glycosidic bonds, causing the glycogen to remain unstained after the PAS reaction. BioGnost’s P.A.S. Diastase kit uses thermostable enzyme which does not require heating to +37°C to be active, but incubat-ing the section at +37°C is preferred in order to achieve better glycogen breakdown. The same tissue section is used as negative control for this reaction, but the sample is not treated using alpha-amylase.
For 100 tests.
