Eosin 0.2 %, aqueous
Eosin 0.2%, aqueous is a common staining solution used in histology and cytology to stain cytoplasm, extracellular matrix and collagenous connective tissue. Eosin imparts a characteristic pink to red color to stained structures and is often used in combination with hematoxylin, which depicts cell nuclei in a blue hue. Together, they form the hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) stain, which is most widely used in histological and cytological analysis.
Eosin 0.2%, aqueous differs from other eosin concentrations, such as 0.1% or higher-percentage solutions, in the intensity of staining and staining time. With a higher concentration of eosin, such as 0.2%, more intense staining and possibly a shorter staining time can be achieved. In comparison, a 0.1% eosin solution may result in less intense staining that may take longer.
The choice of eosin concentration depends on the specific requirements and preferences of the user. It may be that the 0.2% aqueous eosin solution is more appropriate in some cases to achieve more intense staining or to shorten the staining time. In other situations, a lower concentration, such as 0.1%, may be sufficient or preferred to provide more subtle staining and longer staining time. Ultimately, it is important to determine the optimal eosin concentration for the particular application and desired staining effect.
