Product Overview
Phloxin B is a synthetic xanthene dye widely used in biological staining applications. This high-grade, water-soluble powder is ideal for microscopy and histological studies due to its vibrant pink-red coloration. It is commonly employed as a counterstain in hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining protocols, providing sharp contrast for cellular structures. Phloxin B is stable under standard lab conditions and dissolves easily in aqueous solutions, ensuring consistent performance. Its non-toxic nature and compatibility with most staining techniques make it a preferred choice for researchers and educators. The dye is supplied in a fine powder form, allowing precise measurement for experimental use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain stability. This product is suitable for educational, research, and diagnostic laboratories requiring reliable staining results.
