Stains for collagen, fibrin, and striated muscle in under one hour.

This kit includes a 55 minute microwave procedure and the traditional 15 hour procedure. Unlike similar kits on the market, the MasterTech P.T.A.H. Stain Kit is less hazardous, using Zinc Chloride instead of mercuric based mordants, which also eliminates the need for Potassium Dichromate. Ferric Ammonium Sulfate is also used instead of Acidic Potassium Permanganate, further reducing the stain kit’s hazard. P.T.A.H. serves as the primary stain, producing blue fibrin, muscle, and nuclei, with brown to red collagen.

• KTPTA   100ml Stain Kit yields between 36-45 slides.
• KTPTAPT Pint Stain Kit yields between 144-225 slides.
