Toluidine Blue 1 %, in Sodium Hydrogencarbonate 2.5 %
Toluidine blue 1 %, in sodium bicarbonate 2.5 % represents an essential tool in histological research. Its use allows visualization and differentiation of mast cells and acid mucopolysaccharides. It is also used in microscopic diagnostics, especially in the in vivo staining of squamous cell carcinomas and for the detection of Barrett's esophagus.
Chemically, toluidine blue binds to acidic tissue components, especially to acidic mucopolysaccharides. The sodium bicarbonate in the solution acts as a buffer and maintains a constant pH to ensure optimal staining conditions.
Use of this solution allows microscopic visualization and identification of specific tissue components and pathologies. In research, staining can provide a detailed understanding of tissue structures and pathologies. In medical diagnostics, it supports the detection and classification of various disease states.
