Gallocyanine, also known as 7-Dimethylamino-4-hydroxy-3-oxo-phenoxazine-1-carboxylic acid, is a synthetic dye classified within the oxazine group of dyes. Its chemical formula is C15H13N2O5Cl. This dye is of bright violet-blue color and it is usually utilized in a mixture with chromium salts like chrome alum to generate gallocyanine-chrome alum complexes that improve its staining performance. Gallocyanine is then produced by the combination of gallic acid in a solution of methanol and a surplus of iodine. It finds application in histological and cytological methods of selective staining of nucleic acids whereby it gives good contrast between nuclei and tissue structures surrounding them.

Applications

• Applied widely to stain nucleic acids in cells, making it possible to clearly see cell nuclei and chromosomes in a tissue section.
• Used in biochemical tests to detect and determine proteins and nucleic acids.
• It is a chelating agent and is used to determine bioactive compounds and other metal ions.

Key features

• Strong Blue-Violet Stain: Gives intense staining with great contrast to achieve better observation under a microscope.
• Stable and Dependable Chemically: Gives long-term stability, no fading, and yields stable staining.
• Broad Laboratory Interoperability: Applicable to histological, cytological and biochemical laboratory applications.
• Affordable to the American Laboratories: There is a good stable stain performance with a low-cost offering of the product within the teaching, research and diagnostic laboratories in the USA.

General Description

Gallocyanine is an advanced-quality histological and cytological stain that has been designed to be used in laboratories that demand precision, consistency and reproducibility. Due to its selectivity toward nucleic acids, it is an essential reagent to stain the nuclei of cells and cell chromosomes. The deep blue coloration increases the microscopic clarity, which assists in accurate analysis in academic, research and commercial laboratory set-ups.
