Methylene Blue 0.25 %, aqueous

Methylene Blue 0.25%, aqueous, consists of an aqueous base, methylene blue and acetic acid. It is used in various fields, such as histology, cytology and microbiology, for staining cells and tissues, especially for visualizing nerve cells and their processes. The solution is also a component of the Fite-Faraco staining kit, which is used to detect mycobacteria in histological specimens.

The product is characterized by a special suitability for staining living cells without affecting their viability. This allows real-time observation of cell structures under the microscope and facilitates the study of cellular processes.

The chemical functionality of Methylene Blue 0.25%, aqueous, is based on the binding of the dye methylene blue to cellular structures, especially nucleic acids and proteins. The acetic acid in the solution serves as a fixative and enhances the staining properties of methylene blue by strengthening the interactions between the dye and the structures to be stained.

Compared to similar products, Methylene Blue 0.25%, aqueous, offers the advantage of easy handling and effective staining of cells and tissues. The solution enables rapid and accurate visualization of structures and processes, while its gentle properties preserve the vitality of stained cells. As part of the Fite-Faraco staining kit, Methylene Blue 0.25%, aqueous, contributes to the successful identification of mycobacteria in histological specimens.
