Product Data Sheet

Hematoxylin (Hydroxybrazilin)

Catalog No. A10447

main product photo
Haematoxylin is extracted from the heartwood of the logwood tree.When oxidized it forms haematein, a compound that forms strongly coloured complexes with certain metal ions, the most notable ones being Fe(III) and Al(III) salts. Metal-haematein complexes are used to stain cell nuclei prior to examination under a microscope.
