- Extra Details:
- Mast cells are commonly found in loose connective tissue; often distributed in groups along small blood vessels and lymphatics; and are also frequently observed around interlobular ducts in the bronchi and pancreas. These cells are generally large; about 20–30 μm in diameter; round or oval in shape; with a small nucleus and cytoplasm filled with coarse; metachromatic; eosinophilic granules. The staining mechanism of EnkiLife Mast Cell Staining Solution (Aldehyde Fuchsin-Orange G Method) is based on the strong affinity of aldehyde fuchsin for acidic mucopolysaccharides containing sulfate groups. Mast cell granules contain heparin with carboxyl and sulfate groups; which readily combine with aldehyde fuchsin to form a colored complex. Orange G is an acidic dye that stains other tissue components yellow. This method can demonstrate metachromatic granules. After staining; mast cell granules appear deep purple; other cells are mostly unstained; and the background appears orange-yellow; providing a sharp contrast.
