description Product Description
Eosin Y alcohol solution is widely used in biological and histopathological staining. It is a key component in the H&E (hematoxylin and eosin) staining process, where it acts as a counterstain to highlight cytoplasmic components, collagen, and muscle fibers in tissue samples. This staining technique is essential for diagnosing diseases and studying tissue morphology under a microscope.
In addition to histology, it is employed in cytology to stain cell smears, aiding in the identification of cellular structures. The solution is also used in microbiology for staining certain microorganisms, enhancing their visibility for analysis.
Beyond microscopy, Eosin Y alcohol solution finds applications in the textile industry as a dye for fabrics and in the cosmetic industry for coloring products. Its fluorescent properties make it useful in fluorescence microscopy and as a tracer in environmental studies to track water flow and contamination.
