Fluoro-Jade-C stock solution serves as an essential component in staining kits for neuroscience. Due to its special ability to label degenerating neurons, it is used in research and medical diagnostics to investigate pathological changes in nervous tissue.

In particular, Fluoro-Jade-C is suitable for detecting neuronal damage after events such as hypoxia, ischemia or neurodegenerative diseases. The high specificity and sensitivity of Fluoro-Jade-C for labeling degenerating neurons makes it an indispensable tool in neurological research and diagnostics.

Chemically, Fluoro-Jade-C stock solution consists of Fluoro-Jade-C dissolved in double-distilled water. Fluoro-Jade-C is an aniline derivative that selectively stains degenerating neurons.

In application, Fluoro-Jade-C is brought into contact with neuronal tissue sections, binding to degenerating neurons. This process results in a luminescent fluorescence of these cells under a fluorescence microscope. The resulting image allows accurate assessment and localization of neuronal damage, which is invaluable for reliable diagnosis and research.
