Periodic Acid Schiff staining is useful for outlining tissue structures such as basement membranes, capsules and blood vessels.","code":"P325","type":"ALT_DEFINITION","source":"CDISC"},{"definition":"This is an all-round useful stain for many things, including glycogen, mucin, mucoprotein, glycoprotein, as well as fungi. The reaction is based on the oxidation of glycol group to aldehydes by periodate. The schiff's reagent selectively stains the aldehydes to a rose pink color.
