PERIODIC ACID

PERIODIC ACID 0.5% MCC Periodic Acid 0.5% is a high-purity, ready-to-use oxidizing reagent formulated specifically for periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) staining procedures. It effectively oxidizes 1,2-glycols in carbohydrates to aldehydes, enabling subsequent visualization with Schiff’s Stain. Key Features Precisely standardized 0.5% solution for consistent oxidation Clear and stable formulation, minimizing background interference Ready-to-use format, eliminating the need for in-lab dilutions Compatible with MCC Schiff’s Stain and other PAS kits Applications PAS staining of glycogen, mucins, basement membranes, and fungal organisms Preparation of aldehyde groups in tissue sections for Schiff’s reagent reaction Routine histology, pathology, and research applications Specifications Concentration: 0.5% aqueous solution Storage: 2–8 °C, protect from light PERIODIC ACID 1% Periodic acid is a 1% w/v solution of periodic acid in water. It is used as part of Periodic acid/Schiff’s stain. This reagent is manufactured in the United States by Medical Chemical Corp.
