Product Description
Hematoxylin (C.I. 75290) is a natural dye extracted from the heartwood of the logwood tree, widely used in histology for staining cell nuclei. This crystalline form ensures high purity and consistency, making it ideal for laboratory applications where precise staining is critical. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this hematoxylin powder provides reliable results for microscopic analysis.
When dissolved in a suitable solvent, hematoxylin forms a solution that binds to nucleic acids, producing a deep blue or purple stain in cell nuclei. This contrast is essential for identifying cellular structures under a microscope. The product is compatible with standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining protocols, a cornerstone technique in pathology and cytology.
For best results, follow established laboratory procedures for preparing hematoxylin solutions. The crystalline form allows for flexible concentration adjustments, ensuring optimal staining intensity. Store the powder in a cool, dry place to maintain its stability and efficacy.
