Product Overview

Aniline Blue Cotton Blue (Alcoholic) – Lancer is a dual-function laboratory stain specially designed for high-contrast fungal and plant tissue analysis. Its formulation blends Aniline Blue and Cotton Blue in an alcohol base, ensuring better penetration and vivid staining of microscopic structures like hyphae, spores, and vascular tissues.

In academic labs, this stain is widely used in biology and life science courses for fungal identification and plant tissue preparation. It enables students to get crisp, detailed views under microscopes, enhancing both learning and research outcomes.

For industrial applications, especially in pharmaceutical QC and food safety labs, this stain helps detect fungal contamination and structural anomalies in biological samples. The alcoholic base ensures rapid absorption and less evaporation during slide preparation.

In institutional research, particularly in mycology, pathology, and botany, it serves as a reliable staining agent for identifying cell wall structures and differentiating fungal morphologies. Its consistency and laboratory-grade purity make it a trusted reagent in professional microscopy labs.
