Overview / Applications

Outline	Alcian blue stains mucopolysaccharides by binding specifically to their sulfate and carboxyl groups.At pH 2.5, both the sulfate and carboxyl groups are stained, whereas at pH lower than 1.0, only the sulfate group is known to bind with alcian blue.The alcian blue solution is used for double-staining with PAS, which makes it possible to stain neutral and acid mucopolysaccharides in different colors. Each cell and tissue produces specific acid mucopolysaccharides, and by observing the tissue-specific acid mucopolysacchrides, it is possible to distinguish between particular characteristics of each tumor tissue.pH 2.5±0.2 (25 degrees C) Using alcian blue solution (pH 1.0), only sulfomucin and acidic mucus are stained red-purple to blue, while neutral mucus is stained bright red. Acidic polymucosaccharides: blueNeutral mucus: red to red purpleSialomucin, sulfomucin: red purple to blueNucleus: blue violet ... to deep violet blue
