Orcein kit is used for identification of inclusion bodies of surface hepatitis B (HBsAg) antigens, elastic fibres and protein complexes with copper. It may be used with the sections embedded in paraffin, but also with frozen sections. It is also recommended to fix the sections prior to procedure by using neutral buffered formaldehyde.
Orcein kit
Five-reagent kit for visualisation of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seen as viral inclusion bodies in hepatocytes, for elastic fibres and copper associated protein in tissue sections. It can be used with frozen sections.

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.
