Description
Nuclear Fast Red Staining Solution is a common nuclear counterstain formulation composed of an anionic anthraquinone dye, used in conjunction with a mordant, usually an aluminum salt. Also called as Kernechtrot or Calcium Red, Nuclear Fast Red Stain is a highly versatile reagent that selectively stains nuclear chromatin red, while the nonspecific signal is detected in pink tones. This staining solution offers a faster, optimized, intense and simpler multi-labeling nuclear counterstain alternative in comparison to hematoxylin, in the cases where hematoxylin would normally conceal the substrate signal resulting in poor resolution.
Nuclei – red
Cytoplasm – pale pink
Note: Precipitation might occur with Nuclear Fast Red Stain Solution which is easily resuspended in the solution upon gentle shaking prior to each use, DO NOT FILTER!
Features:
• Saves time – rapid and simple staining protocol
• Good resolution – high contrast with various substrates
• Compatible with non-aqueous mounting reagents
Applications:
• Immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry-based assays
• In situ hybridization
