Information: The Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Diastase Stain Kit is intended for use in histological demonstration of lymphocytes and mucopolysaccharides. The α-Amylase digestion step acts on glycogen to break it into smaller sugars that are then washed off the tissue section allowing visual comparison of digested and undigested slides. The PAS reaction in tissue sections is useful for the demonstration of mucopolysaccharides. PAS Positive Material: Magenta Nuclei: Blue
