Elastika-Van Gieson staining kit, for microscopy, 1 kit, glass

Elastika-Van Gieson staining kit is a ready-configured set for microscopy-based histological staining of elastic fibres and connective tissue. Designed for laboratory microscopy workflows, the kit brings together the reagents needed for the classical Elastika–Van Gieson procedure in a single pack, supporting consistent contrast between elastic structures and collagen-rich matrix in tissue sections. Physical data associated with the preparation include a density of approximately 1 g/cm³, a flash point above 12 °C and a boiling point above 85 °C; the transport classification is UN 2924. The unit is supplied as 1 kit in glass packaging, suited to pathology, histology and teaching laboratories that perform connective-tissue staining on a regular basis. This staining kit is offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH for professional microscopic examination where reliable tinctorial differentiation is required. Users should follow established staining protocols and laboratory safety practice when handling the kit components. The complete-kit format simplifies ordering and bench organisation compared with sourcing individual stain solutions separately for the Elastika-Van Gieson method.
