Panoramica

Certified for use as a counterstain for alum based hematoxylin and in the Highman or the Churukian modification of Puchtler′s amyloid stain.
Congo red has been used for the staining of β amyloid peptides. 

Biochem/physiol Actions:

Congo red is a benzidine-based anionic diazo dye. It is a histological dye which binds to many amyloid proteins and is used for the quantification of amyloid β-peptide aggregation. Congo red also interacts with β-D-glucans, polysaccharides containing continuous β-(1→4)-linked D-glucopyranosyl units and some hemicellulosic galactoglucomannans.
