- Collagen fibers are the most widely distributed and abundant fibers in connective tissue; found extensively in various organs; especially in the skin; sclera; and tendons. The principle of Van Gieson collagen fiber staining is related to the size of anionic dye molecules and tissue permeability. Molecular size is reflected by molecular weight: smaller molecules penetrate dense; low-permeability tissues more easily; while larger molecules can only enter loose; high-permeability tissues. Phosphomolybdic acid (PA) has the smallest molecular weight; followed by acid fuchsin and ponceau; while light green has the largest. After VG staining; muscle fibers appear yellow; and collagen fibers appear red. EnkiLife Modified Van Gieson (VG) Staining Solution uses Celestine Blue and Mayer’s Hematoxylin for nuclear staining; resulting in better staining quality and longer storage stability. Ponceau S is used for collagen staining; which is fade-resistant. It is commonly used to distinguish collagen fibers from muscle fibers; to differentiate collagen-derived tumors from muscle-derived tumors; and to observe tissue or organ damage; repair; and fibrosis.
