Toluidine Blue 0.25 %, aqueous
Toluidine Blue 0.25 %, aqueous represents an important laboratory chemical mainly used in histological staining. Due to its ability to specifically stain certain tissue components, it facilitates the differentiation and identification of various cell structures.
It is known to bind to acidic tissue components, producing a red-blue staining. This process is called metachromatic staining and allows visualization of structures such as mast cells, cartilage, or mucopolysaccharides.
In contrast, monochromatic blue staining is produced in the presence of less acidic components such as collagen and muscle tissue. This distinction in staining response allows a variety of tissue types and cellular components to be analyzed in detail.
