Cat.# | Name | Size | Description | Price |
---|---|---|---|---|
ASSD-101 | Cresyl Violet Solution (1%) (AC101) | 250 mL, 500 mL, |
This product is used to selectively stain Nissl substances in neurons on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. Commonly used to identify basic neuronal structures in brain and spinal cord tissue. Nissl granules are violet/purple, while the nuclei of glial cells and endothelial cells are slightly bluer (purple to dark blue) than Nissl granules.
Controlling Tissue: cerebral cortex

ASSD-102 | DAPI (AC102) | 10 mg, 50 mg |
DAPI is a blue fluorescent DNA stain that is cell-permeable at high concentrations. This product is commonly used as a nuclear and chromosomal counterstain. It is used preferentially for staining dead cells. DAPI is less effective as a live cell stain because it cannot efficiently cross the cell membrane of living cells. Therefore, higher concentrations may need to be used.
Due to DAPI emitting blue, there is very little fluorescence overlap between yellow fluorescence, green fluorescent molecules (such as fluorescein and GFP), or red fluorescent stains (such as Texas Red). It is therefore suitable for multiplex assays.
DAPI Staining Solution (1mg/mL) also available.

ASSD-103 | DAPI Staining Solution (1mg/mL) (AC103) | 1 mL, 5 mL, |
DAPI is a blue fluorescent DNA stain which is cell permeant at high concentrations. This is a ready made 1mg/mL staining solution. It is recommended to dilute this solution 1:1000 with your desired buffer for a 1µg/mL working concentration. 0.1µg/mL-10µg/mL is the typical working concentration used in most applications.
DAPI also available.

ASSD-104 | Hoechst 33258 (AC104) | 25 mg, 100 mg |
Hoechst 33258, a blue fluorescent DNA stain, is commonly used in immunofluorescent work. It is frequently used as a nuclear stain to stain nuclei. Excited by UV light. The stain is also used as a substitute for DAPI and can be used on both live and fixed cells. As with other Hoechst stains, Hoechst 33258 binds to the AT-rich regions of the minor grove in DNA.
It is less cell permeable but slightly more water soluble than the similar DNA stain Hoechst 33342. Unlike Hoechst 33342, Hoechst 33258 is not an apoptotic inducer.

ASSD-105 | Hoechst 33342 (AC105) | 10 mg, 100 mg |
Hoechst 33342, a blue fluorescent DNA stain, is commonly used in fluorescent microscopy. It is frequently used as a nuclear stain to stain nuclei. It is excited by UV light. Hoechst 33342 is cell permeable and has greater cell permeability than Hoechst 33258. The stain can be used on both live and fixed cells and is often used as an alternative to DAPI.
This product binds to the AT-rich regions of the minor grove in DNA which renders it specific for nuclear chromatin. Its fluorescent intensity depends on the DNA content, chromatin structure and the position of the cell within the cell cycle.
Hoechst 33342 Staining Solution (10mg/ml) also available.

ASSD-106 | Hoechst 33342 Staining Solution (10mg/ml) (AC106) | 5 mL, 10 mL |
10mg/ml staining solution. Hoechst 33342, a blue fluorescent DNA stain, is commonly used in fluorescent microscopy and frequently used to stain nuclei and is cell permeable. Can be used on both live and fixed cells.
Hoechst 33342 in solid powder form in 50mg and 100mg also available.

ASSD-107 | Modified Mayer's Hematoxylin (AC107) | 125 mL, 250 mL, 2×250mL |
Hematoxylin is a nuclear stain with a deep blue-purple color. It is used as a counterstain for immunohistochemical or hybridization procedures that use colorimetric substrates (e.g. alkaline phosphatase or peroxidase). It is a component of one of the most widely used histology stains: the H&E stain (Hematoxylin and Eosin stain).

ASSD-109 | Picro Sirius Red Solution (AC109) | 250 mL |
The picro sirius red staining technique is frequently used to histologically stain collagen I and III fibers. It can be used to identify fibrillar collagen networks in tissue sections. When viewed under linear polarized light, collagens appear as green, red, orange or yellow fibers.
Theoretical interpretation of staining/results:
Polarized Light Microscopy:
Type I (Thick fibers) Yellow-Orange Birefringence
Type III (Thin fibers) Green Birefringence
Light Microscopy:
Collagen – Red
Muscle Fibers – Yellow
Cytoplasm - Yellow

ASSD-111 | Propidium Iodide (AC111) | 10 mg, 50 mg |
Propidium iodide (PI) is a widely used red-fluorescent intercalating agent that binds and labels nucleic acids. When bound to the nucleic acids, its fluorescence is enhanced 20- to 30-fold. Frequently used with Oxazole Yellow (YP1) when staining for apoptotic and necrotic cells as apoptotic cells remain impermeant to propidium iodide but permeable to Oxazole Yellow (YP1).
