Elastic Stain Kit is used to identify elastin fibers in tissue sections on the Artisan Link and Artisan Link Pro Staining Systems. This stain utilizes Alcoholic Hematoxylin, Ferric Chloride and Lugol's Iodine solutions to stain elastin fibers. Van Gieson's solution is added to differentiate collagen from elastin. Elastin fibers are stained black while remaining tissue elements are stained as follows: nuclei: blue/black, collagen: red, and other tissue elements: yellow.
