What is the Elastic Van Gieson Stain Kit (Verhoeffs) (EVG)? This stain kit is useful in demonstrating elastic fibres, collagen and muscle. Elastin has a high affinity for the iron-haematoxylin stain and hence will retain the dye longer than other tissue components which will be decolourised by the differentiation.
