What does this test Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Stain Test identify?

The Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Stain Test is a special stain used in histology to identify carbohydrates, particularly glycogen and mucosubstances, in tissues. The PAS stain utilizes periodic acid to oxidize the carbohydrates, which are then visualized with Schiff's reagent as a magenta color. This test is commonly used to identify glycogen storage diseases, mucin-producing tumors, and fungal infections in tissue samples.

Why is this test Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Stain Test taken?

The Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Stain Test is taken to detect the presence of glycogen, mucosubstances, and glycoproteins in tissues or cells. This test is commonly used in histology to diagnose various conditions such as glycogen storage diseases, fungal infections, and certain types of cancer.
