- Extra Details:
- Elastic fibers are primarily distributed in the human arterial walls; alveolar walls; and skin. They appear yellow and are highly refractile when fresh. Commonly used elastic fiber staining methods include the Gomori aldehyde-fuchsin method; resorcin-fuchsin method (Weigert's resorcin-fuchsin); orcein method; Victoria blue method; and iron hematoxylin method. Resorcin-fuchsin staining solution is mainly used for elastic fiber staining and is also known as Weigert's resorcin-fuchsin solution. Elastic fiber staining can reveal changes in elastic fibers in skin tissues; such as elastic nevus; granuloma annulare; and scleroderma. It is also used to display and assess lesions of the endocardium and arteries; to observe whether certain pathological changes are accompanied by proliferation or destruction of elastic fibers; and to identify tumor components such as elastic fibromas. After elastic fiber staining; elastic fiber balls within the tumor can be clearly observed. EnkiLife Elastic Fiber Staining Solution (Modified Gomori Aldehyde-Fuchsin Method) is based on the principle that mature aldehyde-fuchsin has a strong affinity for specific proteins and sulfated mucopolysaccharides; and binds well with elastic fibers. This staining solution also reveals mast cell granules; lipofuscin; and eosinophilic cells.
