Product Overview
Pyronin G, also known as Pyronin Y (C. I. No. 45005), is a synthetic xanthene dye widely recognized for its pivotal role in cellular biology and microscopy. This basic red dye is particularly celebrated for its high affinity for ribonucleic acid (RNA), making it an indispensable tool for researchers and educators involved in cytological and histological studies. Its ability to preferentially bind to RNA, as opposed to DNA, allows for excellent differentiation of cellular structures rich in RNA, such as the cytoplasm, nucleoli, and plasma cells. When used in conjunction with other stains like Methyl Green, Pyronin G forms a classic combination that facilitates the clear visualization and distinction between DNA and RNA components within a cell, providing critical insights into cellular physiology and pathology. The dye exhibits fluorescence properties, enhancing its utility in various advanced microscopic techniques. Supplied as a fine powder, our Pyronin G is of a high standard, ensuring consistent and reliable results across diverse laboratory applications. Its vibrant staining capabilities make it perfect for preparing slides for detailed examination, contributing significantly to biological analysis and educational demonstrations of cellular composition. It is a cornerstone reagent for any lab focused on detailed cellular observation and biochemical analysis.
