Congo Red UltraPure Grade – 1 g

Overview

Congo Red UltraPure Grade (1 g) is essential for researchers focused on histochemistry and the early diagnosis of amyloid deposits. This non-fluorescent dye is specifically formulated to assist in differentiating between amyloid and other glomerular fibrillar deposits through its unique yellow-green birefringence observed under crossed polarization. When combined with immunohistochemistry techniques, Congo Red remains detectable under UV light and does not lose its efficacy in bright conditions, making it an invaluable tool in your laboratory.

Key Features

• High-purity formulation for reliable results
• Visible under UV light despite bright conditions
• Helps differentiate amyloid from other deposits
• Used widely in tissue section diagnostics
• Compatible with various in vitro amyloid fibril characterizations
