Alcian Blue Stain Kit, pH 2.5, 3*100ml

Product Introduction: Alcian, also known as alcian blue 8GX, is a conjugated dye of copper titanium cyanine, which was originally used for textile fiber dyeing. This cationic dye combines with acidic groups, that is, alcian blue forms an insoluble complex with anionic groups such as carboxyl groups and sulfate groups contained in the tissue. Alcian blue is formed by connecting the central copper containing phthalocyanine ring with four isothiourea groups through thioether bonds. It can be combined with different anion groups at different pH and colored. Ordinary acidic mesenchymal mucin can be stained at pH 2.5, sulfated mucin can be stained at pH 1.0 and complex acid connective tissue mucin can be stained at pH 0.5, and neutral mucin is not stained. Alcian Blue Stain Kit, pH 2.5 can stain glycoprotein modified by sialic acid, also known as hyaluronic acid. It can be used for cartilage staining, mucin staining and determination of intestinal metaplasia. It can also be used for identification of mucinous epithelial tumors and proof of whether mucinous substances are contained in tumors. This kit contains nuclear fast red double staining solution, which can be used for coloring and morphological observation of nucleus. Note： Product information may be optimized and upgraded.
