Congo Red Certified CAS: 573-58-0 | MF: C32H22N6O6S2•2Na | MW: 696.7, Buy now for reliable and reproducible results from Tristains.

Congo Red Certified is an artificial secondary diazo dye that manifests as a red-orange crystallized powder. It dissolves in water and forms a red colloidal solution, but with increased solubility in organic solvents including ethanol. The molecular formula of the congo red certified is C32H22N6Na2O6S2. This is an anionic metachromatic dye that is commonly used as a contrast stain or counterstain in a laboratory staining protocol. Congo Red Certified is a particular and established amyloid stain in pathology and biomedical research. Moreover, it is used as a pH indicator whose transition range is pH 3.0 (blue) to pH 5.0 (red). Structurally, it is a benzidine-based anionic diazo dye and approved for use as a counterstain with alum-based hematoxylin, or in Highman or Churukian variants of the Puchtler amyloid staining method. It is widely used in the histology and microbiology laboratories.

Applications

  • Used extensively for staining β-amyloid peptides in research and diagnostic studies.
  • Binds to a wide range of amyloid proteins and is utilized for the detection and quantification of amyloid β-peptide aggregation.
  • Interacts with β-D-glucans, polysaccharides containing β-(1→4)-linked D-glucopyranosyl units, and specific hemicellulosic galactoglucomannans.

Key features

  • Reliable and correct Results.: Assures accurate and repeatable staining results in histological and microbiological applications.
  • Flexible & Multi-Purpose: It is used as a counterstain, amyloid marker, histological stain and pH indicator.
  • High Stability & Purity: Produced to deliver reliable performance and great stability and long shelf life.
  • Cost-Effective: Provides high-end quality and at competitive prices, which is applicable in research facilities and in teaching laboratories.

General Description

Congo Red Certified is a popular anionic benzidine diazo dye that is known to be strong and reliable when used in histology and pathology studies. It is highly essential in the detection of amyloid deposits, which qualifies it to be a crucial reagent in diagnostic and biomedical studies. This is its dual nature being a pH indicator and a histological stain, and its metachromatic nature, which renders it indispensable in biochemical, pathological, and microbiological laboratories. High solubility in water, chemical stability and strong coloration are responsible to provide accurate and reliable results in both basic and advanced laboratory practices.

Congo red is an amyloidophylic dye that specifically stains stacked sheet aggregates. Congo red is useful for staining and visual detection of amyloid deposits. This compound does not bind to non-polymerized amyloid peptide. Congo red inhibits the accumulation of the scrapie-associated, protease-resistant isoform of protein PrP without affecting the metabolism of the normal isoform.
