COLLA GEN - MA SSON'S T RI CHROME STA I N(T RI )

PURPOSE: Used t o diff erent iat e between collagen and smooth muscle in

t umors, and the increase of collagen in diseases such as cirrhosis.Rout ine st ain f or liver and kidney biopsies.

PRI NCI PLE: As t he name implies, t hree dyes are employed select ively

staining muscle, collagen f ibers, fibrin, and eryt hrocyt es. The general rule

in t richrome staining is that t he less porous t issues are colored by t he

smallest dye molecule; whenever a dye of large molecular size is able to

penet rate, it will always do so at t he expense of t he smaller molecule.

Ot hers suggest t hat t he t issue is st ained first wit h t he acid dye, Biebrich

Scarlet , which binds with t he acidophilic t issue components. Then when

treated with the phospho acids, the less permeable components retain the

red, while t he red is pulled out of t he collagen. At t he same t ime causing a

link wit h t he collagen t o bind wit h t he anil ine blue.

FIXATIVE: Bouin's is preferred, 10% formalin.

TECHNI QUE: Cut paraf f in sect ions 4 m

EQUI PMENT: Rinse glassware in DI water. Coplin jars, 60°C oven or

wat erbat h, microwave

Bouin's cont ains: formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, picric acid canbecome explosive when dry. Toxic by skin absorbt ion. Keep hot uncapped

Bouin’s under t he hood.

Phosphomolybdic, phosphotungsic acid powders, and acet ic acid solut ions

are skin and eye irrit ant s, and st rong corr osives.
