The Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) stain is widely used for the visualization of polysaccharides, neutral mucosubstances, basement membranes, glycogen, and fungi in tissues. PAS staining assists in the diagnosis of several medical conditions such as glycogen storage disease and fungal infections.

Mayer's hematoxylin can be applied as a counterstain to highlight nuclei in blue. PAS may also serve as a counterstain for Luxol Fast Blue, providing color contrasts that reveal morphological features significant in tissue analysis. This makes PAS a fast and reliable method for determining the extent of demyelination.

The Hito PAS OptimStain™ Kit has been extensively tested on tissues from several animal species. It offers a simple, ready-to-use solution for sensitive and reliable histological research.
