Azure II Biological Stain CAS 37247102 China Suppliers and Factory
Azure II is a high-performance synthetic basic dye from the thiazine class, meticulously engineered for precision biological staining and microscopic analysis. Chemically recognized as 3-Amino-7-dimethylamino-2-methylphenothiazin-5-ium chloride, this blue-green reagent is an indispensable tool in hematology and histology, specifically optimized for the visualization of chromatin and nucleic acids.
Due to its distinct cationic properties, Azure II exhibits a powerful affinity for acidic cellular components, ensuring high-contrast differentiation in blood smears and histological preparations. Its unique metachromatic capabilities allow it to display varying colors depending on the tissue element it binds to, making it a critical component in Romanowsky-type stains like Wright-Giemsa for advanced pathological examinations.
