special stains

Gold Path utilizes numerous staining techniques to highlight specific cellular components or structures within a tissue sample that might not be readily visible with a standard H&E stain. This allows for more detailed analysis and diagnosis of certain diseases by identifying particular elements like fibers, microorganisms, or deposits within the tissue.

AFB (Acid-Fast Bacteria)
Alcian Blue pH 2.5
Alcian Blue-PAS
Colloidal Iron
Congo Red
Elastic
Fite
Fontana Masson
Giemsa
GMS (Fungal and Pneumocystis)
Gram
Iron (Prussian Blue)
Melanin Bleach
Mucicarmine
PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff)
PASD (Periodic Acid-Schiff with Diastase)
Reticulum
Trichrome
Von Kossa
Warthin Starry

Immunohistochemistry

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays a central role in the histopathological classification of diseases, including cancer, by utilizing antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissue specimens. Leveraging high-throughput IHC assays, Gold Path provides clinicians and patients with personalized diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information. Please see our extensive list of primary antibodies below.
