Hito Golgi-Cox OptimStain™ Kit designed based on the methods described by Glaser and Van der Loos, this kit makes dramatic improvement of the Golgi-Cox technique. The procedures are simplified and the processing time is greatly reduced. This kit delivers stable and improved staining quality, with minimal overstains and artifacts when used properly. Standard Kit can be used for 50 mouse brains. Hito Golgi-Cox OptimStain™ Kit has been tested extensively on the brains, spinal cords and hearts from several species of animals and proven to be sensitive for demonstrating morphological details of neurons and gila, It is a simple solution for your research.
Golgi-Cox staining, also known as Golgi-Cox impregnation, is one of the most elegant and effective procedures for studying the morphology of neurons and glia. It remains a primary technique for visualizing dendritic branching patterns and dendritic spines, allowing isolation and visualization of dendritic arbours from a small random fraction of neurons in a given brain area. Golgi techniques are widely used not only for anatomical studies but also in research examining behavioral-morphological relationships. Applications include identifying autonomic innervations in the heart and peripheral tissues.
Traditional Golgi-Cox staining is time-consuming, requires a vibratome, yields relatively few stained cells, and often produces inconsistent results. The Hito Golgi-Cox OptimStain™ Kit, designed based on methods by Glaser and Van der Loos, provides significant improvements. Procedures are simplified, processing time is reduced, and staining quality is stable and reliable with minimal overstaining and artifacts.
Users can employ a cryostat set at –19ºC for sectioning, or alternatively prepare paraffin sections with a microtome. The Standard Kit supports up to 50 mouse brains. Extensively tested on brains, spinal cords, and hearts from several animal species, this kit is sensitive for demonstrating morphological details of neurons and glia.
