Information

The staining technology is one of the important methods to study the pathology. Pathology teaching, scientific research, clinical biopsy and diagnosis can not do without pathological staining technology. In order to display and determine the tissues or cells in the normal structure or in the pathological process of abnormal substances, diseases and pathogens. Appropriate staining methods are for different tissues and different purposes.
