(9-Amino-5-imino-5H-benzo[a]phenoxazine acetate salt) Cresyl Violet Acetate is a certified solid dye used for the preparation of a staining solution to demonstrate the presence of Nissl substances in neurons and cell nuclei.

Anionic metachromatic dye. Good contrast stain or counterstain. Specific stain for amyloids in pathology. Also, a pH indicator; transition interval: pH 3.0 (blue) to 5.0 (red).

λ max: 497nm

Complete kit to aid in the staining of tissue for Amyloidosis. Amyloid Stain Kit used in the detection of amyloid FFPE as well as frozen tissue sections cut at 10 microns. The amyloid stains red and the nuclei stains blue. Control tissue is Alzheimer’s or other known amyloidosis.

The Bielschowsky Stain is a very useful method in detecting the twist and clumping of neurons in the brain, otherwise known as, neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques, which are signs of the Alzheimer’s disease. The Bielschowsky stain, along with other diagnostic test, can assist scientist and researchers in the mission for finding a cure for this disease of memory loss.
