Fat - Lipid Stain for Histological and Cytological Applications
Product Overview
Sudan III 1% Solution is a lipophilic dye formulated for the staining of neutral lipids, triglycerides, and lipoproteins in biological tissues and cell samples. As a classic fat-soluble dye, Sudan III binds selectively to lipid-rich regions, rendering them a distinctive red to orange coloration under light microscopy.
This 1% alcoholic solution is ideal for use in frozen tissue sections, cytological smears, and food or pharmaceutical fat analysis. Commonly used in histology, pathology, and nutritional studies, Sudan III is particularly valuable for visualizing adipose tissue, lipid-laden macrophages, and atherosclerotic lesions.
Key Features:
- 1% solution of Sudan III in alcohol for optimal lipid solubility
- Stains neutral fats, oils, and lipoproteins red to orange
- Ideal for frozen sections and cytological preparations
- Commonly used in histopathology, toxicology, and metabolic research
- Offers sharp contrast with aqueous cellular components
- Suitable for microscopy-based fat detection in biological and industrial samples
Sudan III 1% is a reliable and vivid stain for the qualitative identification of lipids, supporting accurate visualization in both routine and specialized laboratory workflows.
