Product for the preparation of cyto-histological samples for optical microscopy.
Application
Reagent for evidencing myelin, used in the modified method “Luxol Fast Blue Klüver Barrera” (see technical data sheet kit “Luxol Fast Blue” code 04-200812).
Principle
Luxol fast blue dye is a derivative of tetrabenzotetrazo-porphyrin. Kluver has demonstrated porphyrins have a selective affinity for myelin (see references). Luxol fast blue’s affinity for central nervous system is usually ascribed to the bonds it forms with phospholipidic structures such as lecithin and sphingomyelin.
