- Glycogen staining is one of the routine staining methods in pathology. In 1946; McManus first used the periodic acid–Schiff technique to visualize mucins. This method is commonly used to demonstrate glycogen and other polysaccharides. In addition to glycogen; PAS staining can also reveal neutral mucosubstances; certain acidic substances; and structures such as cartilage; pituitary tissue; molds; fungi; pigments; amyloid; and basement membranes. Periodic acid (also known as metaperiodic acid) is a strong oxidizing agent that oxidizes 1;2-glycol groups in carbohydrates and related substances to dialdehydes. These aldehydes then react with Schiff reagent to form a magenta-colored compound. Since periodic acid can also oxidize other intracellular components; it is critical to select appropriate concentrations and oxidation durations to ensure that oxidation is sufficient to convert glycol groups to aldehydes without over-oxidation. EnkiLife Glycogen PAS Staining Solution features a proprietary formulation that significantly enhances staining performance. It offers high stability and specificity; and is easy to use; requiring only approximately 1 hour.
