ISOSLIDE^™ PAS Control Slides

The ISOSLIDE^™ PAS Control Slides - with reference tissue for the detection of polysaccharides in histological tissue, are used for human-medical cell diagnosis and serve the purpose of the histological investigation and quality control of sample material of human origin, for example histological sections of e. g. the stomach or the intestine. They can be stained using the PAS reaction, e.g. the Schiffs reagent (Product number 1.09033) or PAS Kit (Product number 1.01646) or with the laboratory′s own PAS staining method.
The ISOSLIDE^™ PAS Control Slides are prepared using sections of suitable animal material, that clearly visualize unsubstituted polysaccharides, neutral mucopolysaccharides, muco- and glycoproteins, and glyco- and phospholipids. Each package of ISOSLIDE^™ control slides contains 25 slides. The tissue is applied onto the slide next to the white printed labelling field. One slide is already stained with the reference method and is used for comparison. The 24 unstained slides are stained according to the corresponding protocol or with the laboratory′s own protocol. After the staining of the control slides, the staining result is to be compared with the laboratory material and the pre-stained control slide.
The ISOSLIDE^™ control slides are not quality-controlled for their application with molecular pathology methods and IHC. For more details, please see instructions for use (IFU). This product is registered as IVD and CE marked. The IFU can be downloaded from this webpage.
