FD Rapid TimmStain™ Kit

Studies using this technique have provided a better understanding of not only the localization and distribution of zinc but also its possible function in the brain¹. However, the reliability and complexity of Timm’ s sulphide silver staining have been major obstacles to the widespread application of this technique.

FD Rapid TimmStain™ Kit is designed based on the methods described by Haug¹ and Sloviter². The reagents and procedure of the FD Rapid TimmStain™ Kit have been optimized to achieve a high degree of both specificity and sensitivity for the demonstration of metal ions, especially zinc in the brain of experimental animals. The kit can be used with both frozen and paraffin sections.
