What does Histopathology Special Stain -Periodic Acid Schiff - INLAB measure?
This histopathology special stain uses Periodic Acid–Schiff (PAS) staining to highlight certain carbohydrates and carbohydrate-rich structures in tissue samples, including glycogen, mucus-producing material, basement membranes, and some fungi. It may be used to help a healthcare professional examine tissue architecture and identify patterns that support evaluation of infections, inflammatory conditions, or abnormal tissue changes. Results are interpreted together with routine microscopy findings and clinical information.
