Ingredients |
A)Silver Nitrate Solution 5%: Silver nitrate
B) Sodium Thiosulfate Solution 5%: Sodium thiosulfate
C) Nuclear red solution 0.1%: Aluminum sulfate, Nuclear fast red |
Working Principle |
The Von Kossa Calcium Staining Kit is widely used in histology to detect the presence of abnormal calcium deposits in the body. The principle of this coloring is based on the conversion of calcium salts into silver salts. Calcium ions bound to phosphates are replaced by silver ions brought in with silver nitrate solution. |
