Mallory trichrome stain

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mallory's trichrome stain is a histological trichrome staining method .

properties

Mallory's trichrome stain was used for differentiated staining of collagen and reticular fibers . After fixation, she uses acid fuchsine , molybdophosphoric acid or tungstophosphoric acid , orange G , aniline blue or methylene blue and oxalic acid for coloring . The cytoplasmic staining is done with acid fuchsin. The nucleic acids and protein fibers are stained with methylene blue. The addition of Orange G is used to color the erythrocytes .

history

Mallory trichrome staining was developed in 1900 by Frank Mallory (1862-1941).
