| Glycogen & Mucin | Most commonly found Carbohydrates in the body |
| Sugars | Monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides |
| Bauer-Fuelgen | demonstrates glycogen |
| Bests Carmine | demonstrates glycogen |
| Periodic Acid | Oxidizer used in PAS method |
| PAS/Diastase | Demos glycogen |
| Rossman | Glycogens fixative of choice |
| Starch, Cellulose, Chitin | Carbohydrates that do not require fixation |
| Periodic Acid is preferred becase? | It stops at the aldehyde stage |
| Transient colorless unstable dialdehyde compound | Result from exposure of dialdehydes to Schiffs reagent |
| Sulfurous Rinse | Removes excess schiff, prevents false pigmentation from oxidation during coverslipping |
| Neutral mucins | Found in basement membrane, stomach, thyroid |
| non sulfated sialomucins | goblet cells, salivary glands, pancreas |
