[4] Trypan Blue, a living-cell exclusion dye; Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride; Erythrosine, which is Red No. 3 in food coloring, can be used as an exclusion dye. 7-Aminoactinomycin D used e.g. in flowcytometric studies of hematopoietic stem cell viability. Other Vital Stains : Janus Green B is a basic dye and vital stain used in histology.
In vivo staining (also called vital staining or intravital staining) is the process of dyeing living tissues. By causing certain cells or structures to take on contrasting colours, their form or position within a cell or tissue can be readily seen and studied. The usual purpose is to reveal cytological details that might otherwise not be ...
In anatomy the term reticuloendothelial system (abbreviated RES), often associated nowadays with the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS), was employed by the beginning of the 20th century to denote a system of specialised cells that effectively clear colloidal vital stains (so called because they stain living cells) from the blood circulation.
Supravital stain of a smear of human blood from a patient with hemolytic anemia. The reticulocytes are the cells with the dark blue dots and curved linear structures (reticulum) in the cytoplasm. Supravital staining is a method of staining used in microscopy to examine living cells that
Trypan blue is an azo dye.It is a direct dye for cotton textiles. [3] In biosciences, it is used as a vital stain to selectively colour dead tissues or cells blue.. Live cells or tissues with intact cell membranes are not coloured.
Janus Green B is a basic dye and vital stain used in histology. It is also used to stain mitochondria supravitally, as was introduced by Leonor Michaelis in 1900. [2] The indicator Janus Green B changes colour according to the amount of oxygen present. [3] When oxygen is present, the indicator oxidizes to a blue colour.
Neutral red (toluylene red, Basic Red 5, or C.I. 50040) is a eurhodin dye used for staining in histology. It stains lysosomes red. [1] It is used as a general stain in histology, as a counterstain in combination with other dyes, and for many staining methods. Together with Janus Green B, it is used to stain embryonal tissues and supravital ...
Toluidine blue is also commonly used to stain frozen sections (rapid microscopic analysis of a specimen). Because time is of the essence for a frozen section, toluidine blue allows for the frozen section to be stained and reviewed in 10 to 20 seconds. [4] The other staining method for frozen sections (rapid H&E) takes approximately 60 to 90 ...
