Introduction

Histology, cytology and other related scientific disciplines study the microscopic anatomy of tissues and cells. In order to demonstrate a good tissue and cellular structure, the samples need to be stained in a correct manner. It is used in histology for staining myelin sheath. As a part of the Luxol Fast Blue kit with Cresyl Violet, the solution is used for visualization of myelin, Nissl bodies on histology sections and for visualization of the basic structure of brain tissue and spinal cord tissue. Staining intensity depends on the contents of the Luxol Fast Blue MBSN powder dye. Several factors may contribute to the results of staining, such as pH solution and buffer solutions, buffer substances, fixation and duration of the staining procedure.
