The Thermo Scientific™ Hematoxylin Hydrate is a high-quality natural histological dye widely used for nuclear staining in microscopy and histopathology applications. Derived from natural sources, hematoxylin is a key component of the widely used Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining protocol, enabling clear visualization of cell nuclei and tissue morphology.
In its oxidized form (hematein), hematoxylin forms complexes with metal ions (commonly aluminum or iron salts) to selectively stain nuclear chromatin in shades of blue to purple, providing excellent contrast for microscopic examination of biological tissues.
