The Hito Luxol Fast Blue – PAS OptimStain™ Kit is designed based on the Luxol Fast Blue and Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) method. This kit is provided in a ready-to-use format and enables high-quality, rapid staining (completed in approximately one hour) of myelin and myelinated axons on paraffin or frozen sections.
It has been proven to be reliable and highly sensitive for demonstrating the morphological details of myelin fibers.
The kit has been extensively tested on brains and spinal cords from several animal species, making it a simple and effective solution for your research.

Myelin is a lipid- and protein-rich substance forming the insulating sheath around axons, essential for proper nervous system function. Demyelination—the loss of this sheath—impairs nerve signal conduction, leading to deficits in sensation, movement, and cognition. While no cure exists for demyelinating diseases, myelin repair remains an active research field. This kit enables sensitive localization and visualization of myelin fibers. The PAS counterstain provides color contrast, highlighting morphological features significant in tissue, offering a fast and reliable way to assess demyelination.
