[Histonet] Fw: Thiocarbohydrazide

[Agustin Chertcoff]

Hi histoneters!
Sorry, you maybe don't understand for my bad expression of the language.I don't ask so that  it is used. here are not books Pearse current. I will not invest money of my pocket for this stain. I need the simple protocol.  I  not wanted to buy a book,thanks!

I need this protocol,somebody that has made this reaction for the histochemical and ultracytochemical demonstration of glycomacromolecules for electron microscopy
TCH was introduced to cytochemistry, in the first adaptation,of the PAS reaction, to demonstrate tissue glycomacromolecules for TEM. The reaction depends upon selective oxidation of vicinalor 1,2-glycols, ethanolamines, a-hydroxyaldehydes, and ahydroxy-ketones.Enhancement of fine structure of cytomembranes by the osmium-thiocarbohydrazide-osmium (OTO) bridging. the OTO reaction as a simpler alternative to evaporative metal coating for SEM.

Excuse me if I didn't understand 

thanks to all!

  The answer to your question is simple.

  Buy a major histochemistry book and read it. That means the last edition of Pearse. All three volumes will cost about as much as 3 ml of of a rather dilute primary antibody that might turn out to be be worthless. 

  Books by Hayat (in all biomedical libraries) also have much to say about thiocarbohydrazide. This is a field in which you must know what you are doing. Following a procedure that you do not understand will not deliver meaningful results.
