The Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) Stain is widely used technique in histopathology for the demonstration of carbohydrates and carbohydrate rich compounds in tissues. PAS stain demonstrates polysaccharides, mucin, glycogen, certain glycoproteins and glycolipids, basement membrane and […]
Centrifuagtion is a technique that helps to separate mixtures by applying centrifugal force. A centrifuge machine works by using a principle of sedimentation. Under the influence of gravitational force, substances separate according to their density. […]
Urea is a waste product formed in liver following the breakdown of proteins. It passes into the blood, is filtered out of the kidneys and excreted in urine. Thus determination of blood urea is the […]
The O-toluidine method is an older method of blood glucose estimation. This method is no longer used today because O-toluidine is believed to be a carcinogen and is replaced by enzymatic methods. This method is […]
