Congo Red (NA) Stain Kit

The “Congo Red (NA) Stain Kit” is designed as a qualitative histological stain to selectively demonstrate amyloid in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. This product is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use. Results should be interpreted by qualified personnel in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. Amyloid is a homogeneous structure composed of protein fibrils, each measuring between 8 and 15 nm in diameter, which can be stained eosinophilically. For example, in amyloidosis, amyloid deposits form in intercellular spaces. All amyloid deposits contain similar protein fibrils that resist the body’s natural defences and, once formed, cannot be eliminated.
