Hematoxylin, also known as Hematoxylin crystalline (C.I. 75290) or has CAS Number 517-28-2, is a natural staining dye derived by extraction of the heartwood of the logwood tree (Haematoxylum campechianum). It is used as a biological staining reagent in combination with an appropriate mordant like aluminum and oxidized to hematein to make it highly effective. Hematoxylin has a molecular formula C16H14O6 and is mostly used to selectively stain DNA in cell nuclei. It is widely used in histology and cytology, and it stains nuclei in either light blue to the dark violet, providing a great stain on a background of other cellular elements.

Applications

• Selective Nuclear Staining: Hematoxylin is a stain that is selective towards the nuclear material related to DNA, thus it is a necessary stain in histology and cytology. This selective affinity enables visualization of nuclear structures with ease and also improves the analysis of tissue by giving high contrast.
• Histopathology Staining: Hematoxylin is a histopathology stain commonly used, especially with Eosin in the Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stain. Here, the stains used to stain the nuclear elements are hematoxylin, and the stains to counterstain the cytoplasm and extracellular matrix are eosin.
• Molecular and Cell Biology Applications: In molecular biology and cell biology studies, hematoxylin is used to stain non-cytoplasmic nuclei, supporting research involving gene expression, cell division, and various cellular activity processes.

Key features

• Highly Specific and Contrasting Staining: The technique gives sharp nuclear staining which is used to distinguish nuclear structures against other cell components.
• Multipurpose and Strong: It can stain a variety of tissues, and it is used in both general diagnostics and specialized laboratory practice.
• Cost-Effective Solution: The staining dye is relatively inexpensive compared to the vast majority of the alternatives, and thus, it is economical to be used in the laboratory regularly.
• Consistent and Reliable Results: Ensures reproducible staining outcomes across repeated applications, which is essential for accurate microscopic analysis.

General Description

Hematoxylin C.I. 75290 (CAS No. 517-28-2) is a dye that is naturally derived and found in the heartwood of Haematoxylum campechianum. One of its strengths is that it can stain cell nuclei selectively; it is one of the most valuable staining agents in the study of histology, cytology, and biological research. Hematoxylin has a molecular weight of 302.28 and a molecular formula of C16H14O6, which has to be oxidized to form hematein before it can act as a nuclear stain. It is a laboratory-grade stain that is good in staining tissues with high concentrations of DNA and is highly reliable in research as well as diagnostic studies.
