PAS/D-Periodic Acid-Schiff with Diastase

A PAS/D stain, which stands for Periodic Acid-Schiff with diastase, is used in pathology to identify and differentiate glycogen within tissue samples, particularly when trying to distinguish glycogen from other PAS-positive substances like mucin, by utilizing an enzyme (diastase) that specifically breaks down glycogen, allowing for a clearer visualization of its presence in a tissue section. Kit contains
Diastase with amylase, Periodic acid 0.5% solution, Schiff reagent and Hematoxylin according to Gill-3
