Sudan black 0.1 %, alcoholic
Sudan black 0.1%, alcoholic is a solution used in medical diagnostics, histology and scientific laboratories. It consists of denatured ethanol, distilled water, Sudan Black B (C.I.: 26150) and 1-propanol.
The solution is widely used to stain neutral lipids and fats in tissue specimens. Sudan Black B is a lipophilic azo dye that selectively interacts with lipids and lipoid structures to provide specific staining.
The chemical properties of Sudan Black 0.1%, alcoholic are based on the lipid solubility of the dye and the use of ethanol and 1-propanol as solvents, which promote diffusion of the dye into specimens. The use of this solution can result in visible staining of lipids and fats in histological specimens, which can be used for diagnostic purposes or to study cell morphology.
