ARZAC's Staining Solution
ARZACs staining solution is a special staining solution used in histology and cytology. It mainly consists of light green yellowish and orange G dyes, which are dissolved in denatured ethanol. In addition, it contains phosphomolybdic acid as a mordant.
Light green yellowish and orange G are synthetic dyes that have a strong affinity for certain cell structures. Light green yellowish mainly stains proteins and cell membranes, while orange G binds preferentially to nucleic acids. This enables differentiated and high-contrast imaging of various cell structures.
The phosphomolybdic acid contained in the solution acts as a mordant. It provides divalent metal ions so that the dyes can bind appropriately to cell and tissue structures and be converted to insoluble varnishes. This improves the durability of the stain and increases the contrast of the stained structures.
The ARZACs staining solution is therefore particularly suitable for histological and cytological applications that require differentiated, high-contrast and durable staining. Its composition allows flexible application to a wide range of tissue types and structures.
