Verwendung:

Luxol Fast Blue is a staining solution used in in vitro diagnostics in histology and neuropathology. It is used to stain myelin, an insulating substance around axons of neurons. The application of the solution enables the visualization of myelin sheaths and supports the investigation of neurological diseases or damage in which myelin is affected, such as multiple sclerosis or leukodystrophies.

Prinzip:

Luxol Fast Blue is a dye mainly used in in vitro diagnostics to visualize myelin sheaths in tissue or cell structures. The principle of operation is based on the affinity of the dye for lipids, especially those in myelin sheaths. The alcohol components serve as solvents, while the acetic acid adjusts the pH of the mixture to optimize binding efficiency. By using Luxol Fast Blue solution, myelin sheaths are selectively stained, allowing detailed examination of nerve tissue and identification of potential pathologies.
