Masson’s Trichrome (NA) Stain Kit

Masson's Trichrome stained on Normal Skin

Masson’s Trichrome (NA) Stain Kit

Masson's trichrome is a three-colour staining protocol used in histology. The recipes derived from Claude L. Pierre Masson's (1880–1959) original formulation have different specific applications, but all are suitable for distinguishing cells from surrounding connective tissue. Although many techniques are available for differentiation, connective tissues generally fall into the category of ‘trichrome stains. The term ‘trichrome stain’ broadly refers to a method involving three dyes, one of which is a nuclear stain that selectively demonstrates muscle, collagen fibers, fibrin, and erythrocytes. This product is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The results should be interpreted by qualified personnel in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.
