Schiff reagent’s for aldehyde’s
Schiff′s reagent is used for the qualitative or quantitative assay of carbohydrates. Periodic acid-Schiff′s reagent (PAS) stain is broadly applicable in histology for visualizing glycogen, glycoproteins, mucins, and other polysaccharides in tissue and cells.
Schiff′s reagent for aldehydes has been used:
- in microtiter PAS assay to quantify the amount of secreted mucin in Vibrio cholera infected water
- to stain the colonies of Clostridium perfringens in PGY agar plates to identify plasmalogen-deficient mutants
- in periodic acid-Schiff′s reagent assay to quantify carbohydrates in a microtiter plate format
