Abstract

A modified periodate-Schiff's procedure technique for application in frozen section diagnosis is described. This simplified reaction performed using a microwave-oven procedure takes only 30 s and is useful in demonstrating mucin as well as mucin-containing cells. We found that this method facilitates frozen-section diagnosis.
