Thermo Scientific™ Sudan Black B, CI 26150

Thermo Scientific™ Sudan Black B is a high-quality lipid-soluble dye widely used in histology, cytology, and microbiology laboratories for staining lipids, lipoproteins, and certain cellular structures. This dye is particularly useful in histochemical staining procedures, where it selectively stains intracellular lipids and lipofuscin pigments, producing a dark blue to black coloration that allows clear visualization under light microscopy.

Sudan Black B is commonly used in hematology and pathology for differentiating myeloid cells in bone marrow smears and peripheral blood samples, aiding in the classification of leukemias. It is also applied in histological studies for detecting neutral fats, phospholipids, and sterols in tissue sections.

Supplied as a dark brown to black powder, Sudan Black B offers excellent staining performance and consistent results for research and diagnostic laboratory workflows.
