Alcian Blue dye is used to prove glycosaminoglycan in mucins, for staining amyloids, cysteines and for polychromatic staining of mastocytes according to Alcian-Blue Safranin. It is also used to determine bacterial species and detecting bacterial capsules. Alcian Blue pH 1.0 kit enables adequate staining and visualisation of heavily sulfated mucopolysaccharides without staining carboxylated acid mucins or neutral mucins. Cellular nuclei are stained red using a counterstain.
Alcian Blue pH 1.0 kit
Three-reagent kit for staining heavily sulfated mucopolysaccharides. Slides are counterstained with Nuclear Fast Red (Kernechtrot) reagent to fully detect the presence of Alcian Blue positive staining.
