Product Introduction
Elastic fibers are mainly distributed in the walls of human arteries, alveolar walls and skin. Fresh fibers appear yellow with strong refractivity. Commonly used elastic fiber staining methods include Gomori aldehyde-fuchsin, Weigert’s resorcin–fuchsin, orcein, Victoria blue and iron-iodine hematoxylin. Resorcin–basic fuchsin staining solution is used primarily for elastic fibers and is also known as Weigert’s resorcin–fuchsin staining solution. Victoria blue, a triphenylmethane dye, can demonstrate elastic fibers and hepatitis B surface antigen. It is resistant to over-staining and the stained color fades very slowly.
EnkiLife Victoria Blue Elastic Fiber Staining Solution is intended for demonstrating elastic fibers and hepatitis B surface antigen. It helps to determine whether elastic fibers in tissues are proliferated, broken or disintegrated, thus assisting in diagnosis.

Notes
1. Most fixatives are acceptable; however, chromate-containing fixatives yield pale, easily diffused staining.
2. Oxidizer A can be stored briefly at room temperature; 4 °C storage protected from light is preferable.
3. Victoria Blue Staining Solution is stable, has a long shelf-life, and can be reused repeatedly.
4. Staining time with Victoria Blue may range from 24–48 h; 24 h is most commonly used.
5. Use reagents promptly after opening to avoid compromising subsequent results.
6. Wear a lab coat and disposable gloves for your safety and health.
