Orcein
Catalog No. A44902

Orcein is a specialized elastic fiber dye that irreversibly stains elastic fibers, interacting hydrophobically with their protein components. This reagent imparts a purple or purple-red coloration to elastic fibers in tissue samples. It is widely used for morphological studies of Drosophila polytene chromosomes and facilitates both qualitative and quantitative analysis of elastic and collagen fibers, particularly in atherosclerotic plaques.
