Verhoeff–Van Gieson (VVG-NA) Stain Kit

The Verhoeff–Van Gieson (VVG-NA) Stain Kit is designed for the histological demonstration of elastic fibers, i.e., to identify their presence or absence in tissues. These fine elastic fibers are typically not visible on routine haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained tissue sections, and although they may appear refractile on H&E staining, they are often difficult to distinguish clearly from collagen fibers and smooth muscle. Consequently, the Verhoeff stain allows for the visualization of these delicate structures under standard light microscopy. This product is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, and the results should be interpreted by qualified personnel in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.
