Alcian Blue Stain Solution (pH 2.5) – With Thymol

Alcian Blue Stain (pH 2.5) with Thymol Improved for Selective Staining of Mucopolysaccharides

Alcian Blue Stain (pH 2.5) is a ready-to-use, thymol-preserved staining solution specifically developed for selective staining of acidic mucopolysaccharides and mucoproteins in pathology and histology laboratories.

This formula, stabilized with thymol crystals, has a long shelf life. and provides microbial resistance.

Provides excellent contrast, consistent staining and clear microscopic images, increasing diagnostic reliability.

  ... and provides stability during use.

• Ready to Use: It can be applied directly to tissue sections without the need for dilution or pH adjustment.

• High Staining Accuracy: Target structures are easily selected under the microscope thanks to the formation of a blue-colored complex.

• Sediment-Free and Homogeneous: The solution is clear and particle-free, and is instrument-friendly.

• Suitable for Routine Laboratory Workflow: Staining time is an average of 30 minutes, compatible with most protocols.

Areas of Use

• Histopathological Stains: Demonstration of mucin contents in mucosal tissues, stomach, intestines and respiratory tract

• Tumor Diagnosis: Selective labeling of mucopolysaccharides in mucus-secreting tumors

• Routine Staining Protocols: Can be used with H&E staining

• Research and Academic Studies: Detailed examination of cellular glycosaminoglycan structures
