Verhoeff kit is used primarily for staining elastin. However, it may be used for staining muscle fibres, as well as collagen. Elastic fibres consist of elastin polymers and elastic microfibrils that make up a 3D network in an extracellular matrix inside connective tissue (skin, elastic cartilage, vascular walls, lung tissue and in vocal cords). It can be used instead of the Weigert-Van Gieson kit. Visualisation of elastic fibres is especially important in cases of emphysema (elastic tissue atrophy), arteriosclerosis (thinning and loss of elastic fibres), and many other cardiovascular diseases.
Verhoeff kit
Six-reagent kit for detecting atrophy of elastic tissue in cases of emphysema, thinning and loss of elastic fibres in arteriosclerosis and other vascular diseases, or whether blood vessels have been invaded by a tumour.
