Product Description

Hematoxylin (also known as Hydroxybrazilin; Natural Black 1) is a natural compound that forms strongly colored complexes with certain metal ions, notably Fe(III) and Al(III) salts and a kind of stain in histology. It is extracted from the bark of the logwood tree. Metal-haematein complexes are used to stain cell nuclei prior to examination under a microscope. Structures that stain with iron- or aluminium-haematein are often called basophilic, even though the mechanism of the staining is different from that of staining with basic dyes. Haematoxylin and eosin stain is one of the most commonly used stains in histology.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Hematoxylin oxidizes to reddish brown hematein when it comes into contact with air. Hematoxylin, when converted to its hematein form and mixed with a mordant (often a metal salt), gives tissue slices a stain that ranges from deep blue to black, depending on the staining technique used. Hematoxylin is also amphoteric in its hematein form on its own; it is blue at alkaline pH and red at acid pH. Nonspecific staining is eliminated by differentiation that comes after Hematoxylin staining[1]. In SH-SY5Y cells, hematoxylin treatment significantly reduces the cytotoxicity caused by Aβ42. One possible agent against Aβ fibrillogenesis and cytotoxicity is hematoxylin[2]. The foundation of anatomical pathology diagnosis is the tissue section stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). To make it easy to distinguish between distinct cell components, the H&E process dyes the cytoplasm and nucleus with different colors[3].
ln Vivo
Guidelines (This is our suggested protocol; it should be adjusted based on your unique requirements as it just offers as a guideline). The H&E staining procedure[4]: 1. Staining racks should be used to hold the glass slides containing the paraffin sections. In three changes of xylene, remove the paraffin from the samples for two minutes each time. 2. Assist in hydrating the samples. I. Slides should be put through three 100% ethanol changes, lasting two minutes each. ii. For two minutes, switch to 95% ethanol. iv. Shift to a 70% ethanol for two minutes IV. 3. Rinse the slides for at least two minutes under running room temperature tap water. 4. Stain the samples for three minutes with hematoxylin solution. 5. Run some cold water over the slides under the faucet for at least five minutes. 6. Stain the samples for two minutes in a working eosin Y solution. Assemble the samples and dehydrate them. I. About 20 times, submerge the slides in 95% ethanol. ii. For two minutes, switch to 95% ethanol. iv. Go through two changes in 100% ethanol, giving each change two minutes. 7. Samples should be cleared in three xylene changes, lasting two minutes each. 8. Put a coverslip on each slide after covering the tissue with a drop of Permount. Look over the slides under a microscope.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
