Nuclear Fast Red Staining Solution is a reagent for staining cell nuclei with nuclear fast red. It serves as a commonly used counterstain for tissue section staining, staining cell nuclei red after staining.Nuclear fast red, also known as Kernechtrot or Calcium Red, has the molecular formula C₁₄H₈NNaO₇S, molecular weight of 357.27 and CAS No. 6409-77-4. It appears as slightly reddish to dark brown powder, soluble in ethanol and water. As a widely applied counterstain in tissue section staining, nuclear fast red staining solution binds to cell nuclei and stains them red. It can also be used for the determination of calcium in serum. This staining solution is frequently used in combination with Prussian Blue Staining Solution.
Instructions for Use:
1. Sample Preparation
1.1 Paraffin sections: Deparaffinize in xylene, twice for 3–5 min each.
Dehydrate with absolute ethanol for 5 min, 90% ethanol for 2 min, 70% ethanol for 2 min, then rinse with PBS for 2 min.
1.2 Frozen sections: Rinse with PBS for 2 min.
1.3 Cultured cells: Fix with 4% paraformaldehyde for no less than 10 min, wash with PBS twice for 2 min each.
2. Nuclear Fast Red Staining
Counterstain with Nuclear Fast Red Staining Solution for 1–5 min. The staining duration can be adjusted according to staining effect and experimental requirements.
Staining Result:
| Cell nuclei | Red |
Precautions:
1. It is recommended to conduct a pilot test with 1–2 samples before formal experiments upon first use of this kit.
2. For personal safety, wear appropriate protective equipment such as lab coat and gloves before handling the reagent.
