Product Overview

Eosin Y Solution is a widely used acidic counterstain in histology and cytology, formulated to provide brilliant pink to red coloration of cytoplasmic structures, red blood cells, and connective tissues. Most commonly paired with Hematoxylin in the H&E (Hematoxylin and Eosin) stain, Eosin Y offers sharp contrast by staining acidophilic (basic) components, highlighting cellular detail and enhancing tissue architecture for microscopic analysis.

Eosin Y is compatible with both alcohol- and water-based formulations, and is ideal for use in clinical pathology labs, academic research, and histotechnology training. It is especially valuable in routine examinations of biopsies, blood smears, and tissue samples, offering strong color stability and clear differentiation between cell nuclei and cytoplasm.

Key Features:

• Acidic counterstain for use in H&E staining protocols
• Stains cytoplasm, muscle fibers, RBCs, and connective tissue pink to red
• Provides sharp contrast to Hematoxylin-stained nuclei (blue to purple)
• Suitable for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, and frozen tissue sections
• Compatible with clinical, research, and teaching microscopy workflows
• Available in ready-to-use formulations for consistent and efficient results

Eosin Y Solution is an essential reagent in routine histological staining, offering vibrant and reliable cytoplasmic contrast that enhances tissue morphology interpretation and diagnostic accuracy.
