Periodic Acid, 0.5%

Periodic Acid, 0.5%, Buy TriStains Solutions for Histology, Cytology, Microbiology, Hematology & Biology Lab from TriStains at Dawnscientific.

Periodic Acid in a concentration of 0.5% is a colorless, clear solution and is also known as Orthoperiodic acid. The substance is largely used in the Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining reaction as a precursor to the use of Schiff's Reagent. Periodic Acid is an oxidizing agent used on a large scale in histological research. Additionally, it is a crucial ingredient in various specialized staining kits, including P.A.S., Alcian Blue-P.A.S., P.A.S.M. / Jones, as well as Grocott and Weigert-Van Gieson kits.

Applications of Periodic Acid, 0.5%

1. The 0.5% periodic acid solution is commonly used in histology as an oxidizing agent in the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction. PAS staining is used to identify structures containing polysaccharides, glycogen, or glycoproteins.
2. Periodic acid (H5IO6) is frequently used in the P.A.S.(Periodic Acid Schiff) method used for staining aldehydes, mucopolysaccharides and mucoproteins in purple/magenta.
3. Alcian Blue dye in Alcian-P.A.S. staining method can also be used (besides Schiff’s reagent and periodic acid).

Key Features of Periodic Acid, 0.5%

  Ensures reproducible and accurate staining results

General Description

Periodic Acid, 0.5% is a high-quality, ready-to-use solution designed for histology and cytology applications. Due to its oxidizing property, it can oxidize carbohydrate residues to reactive aldehydes, which in turn react with Schiff's Reagent to give an intense magenta color. For this reason, it is a complete necessity for PAS-based staining protocols, and Alcian-P.A.S., P.A.S.M., Grocott, and Weigert-Van Gieson staining reagent kits.
