| Description: |
Nile Blue A is highly fluorescent, and photostable organic dye used in biology and histology. And Nile Blue A is for use in lipid histochemistry. Nile blue A stains acidic components, such as phospholipids, nucleic and fatty acids by imparting a dark blue color, while neutral lipids, namely triglycerides, are stained pink, or red. Nile blue A is suitable for staining and discriminating between melanins and lipofuscins in paraffin sections of animal tissue, and in a histochemical method for lipids in frozen sections. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: |
Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide.
We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
