UND 363 Schmorl Ferr
UND 363 Schmorl Ferric reduction
Question | Answer |
---|---|
purpose for Schmorl Tech | id reducing substances (will stain melanin, argentaffin granules, and formalin pigment) |
principle for Schmorl Tech | reducing substances reduce ferric ions to ferrous ions, ferrous ions combine with ferricanyide present in stan to form insoluble precipitate of ferrous ferricyanide (turnbull blue) |
fix for Schmorl Tech | NBF preferred |
tech | 4-5 chem cleaned glassware |
qc for Schmorl Tech | section with melanin or argentaffin granules |
reagents | ferric chloride/potassium ferricyanide "working mix" - reduce ferric ions to ferrous ions that react with ferricyanide to form ferrous ferricyanide, mucicarmine - stain's mucin, metanil yellow - counterstain |
what should the ferric chloride potassium ferricyanide working solution be adjusted to and with | ph of 2.4 with 1N HCL |
what will the metanil yellow and mucicarmine do to the turnbull blue color | cause it to turn green |
results for Schmorl Tech | reducing substances - bluegreen, goblet cells/mucin - rose, background - yellow green |
what has the schmorl tech been replace by | IHC |
what can be used instead as a counterstain | nuclear fast red |
if solutions are not fresh what will occur | increased undesirable background staining |
what does this tech work we with | GI tract - for the demonstration of mucin |
