What is PAS Stain Blood?

The PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff) stain is a special laboratory technique applied to blood cells to identify specific substances like glycogen. It helps healthcare providers examine the characteristics of your blood cells more closely.

Why is this test important?

This stain is primarily used in the diagnosis and classification of certain blood disorders, particularly types of leukemia such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), by revealing specific patterns within the blood cells.

How to Prepare
