BioMarq Mayer’s Hematoxylin stains cell nuclei and has wide applications in histology, the most common of which are the Hematoxylin and Eosin stain, Immunohistochemistry, insituhybridization and Special stains. BioMarq Mayer’s Hematoxylin is free from mercury based oxidizing agents and also do not contain chloral hydrate a controlled substance. The positively charged aluminum-hematein chelates combine with the negatively charged phosphate groups of nuclear chromatin to form a distinct blue-purple color. The low dye concentration of this stain will provide excellent contrast and no masking of the antibody reaction in IHC procedures. Stabilizers present in the formulation prevent sheen or scum formation and ensure long term storage with control rate of nuclear staining.
