Kit: Potassium Ferrocyanide (III) Iron Chloride Solution
The potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) ferric chloride solution kit is a specific laboratory chemical mainly used for the detection of melanin in tissue samples in medical and histological diagnostics. In conjunction with the Schmorl Melanin Detection Staining Kit, it enables reliable and efficient melanin localization. By using this solution, an oxidation reaction can be initiated in which melanin reacts with potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) and ferric chloride. This forms the colorless hexacyanoferrate(II), which forms a blue color complex with ferric ions. This leads to the blue coloration of the melanocytes, which is clearly visible under the microscope. The intensity of this staining can indicate the melanin content in the cells and thus provides crucial information for medical and histological diagnoses.
