Toluidine Blue 0.05 %
Toluidine Blue 0.05% Solution is a versatile staining solution widely used in histology, medical diagnostics and life sciences. Major applications include staining of connective tissue, examination of mast cells, and visualization of biopolymers such as proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans in tissue sections.
This staining solution is particularly suitable for selective staining of acidic structures such as mast cell granules, nerve sheaths, and cartilage ground substance. Selective staining allows clear visualization of these structures and facilitates their identification and analysis.
The chemical properties of toluidine blue are based on its ability, as a basic dye, to interact electrostatically with negatively charged groups in acidic structures. Staining occurs through covalent bonds between the dye and the acidic components in the tissue, allowing detailed visualization of the structures under investigation.
Compared to other staining solutions, Toluidine Blue 0.05% is characterized by its high sensitivity and specific staining of acidic structures. The solution enables fast and effective staining, making it ideal for use in various scientific and diagnostic fields.
