Aniline Blue Phosphotungstic Acid
Aniline blue phosphotungstic acid solution is an important component of Shoobridge polychrome staining used to visualize collagen and other structures in tissue sections. The solution provides differential visualization of collagen fibers found in connective tissue and helps distinguish these structures from other tissue components.
Chemically, the solution consists of aniline blue w.s., phosphotungstic acid, acetic acid and water. Aniline blue w.s. is a basic dye that selectively interacts with collagen fibers. The phosphotungstic acid acts as a mordant to achieve better binding of the dye to collagen, while the acetic acid acts as an acid component to stabilize the stain.
The special suitability of this solution lies in its ability to effectively and selectively stain collagen fibers in tissue sections. This property makes it a valuable tool for histologists who wish to examine tissue specimens and analyze the distribution and organization of collagen fibers within the specimen.
