The Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Stain Kit (Mucin Stain) is intended for use in histological demonstration of lymphocytes and mucopolysaccharides. The staining pattern of the lymphocytes are helpful in making therapeutic decisions in established cases of lymphocytic leukemia. The PAS reaction in tissue sections is useful for the demonstration of mucopolysaccharides. PAS staining may also be used for the demonstration of fungal organisms in tissue sections.

PAS staining protocol summary:
- deparaffinize sections (if necessary) and hydrate
- immerse slide in PAS solution for 5-10 min
- rinse 4 times with water
- immerse slide in Schiff's solution for 15-30 min and rinse
- stain slide with Hematoxylin for 2-3 min  and rinse
- incubate in Bluing reagent for 30 s and rinse
- incubate in Light Green Solution for 2 min and rinse
- dehydrate with alcohol, clear and mount
