Celestine Blue CAS: 1562-90-9 | MF: C17H18ClN3O4 | MW: 363.8, Buy now for reliable and reproducible results from Tristains at Chemical World.

Celestine Blue (CAS No. 1562-90-9) is a synthetic dye in the form of black to very dark brown powder that is a member of the sulfonated copper phthalocyanine group. It has a molecular formula of C17H18ClN3O4 and a molecular weight of 363.8. Celestine Blue, also called Mordant Blue 14, is used extensively in histology as an alternative to hematoxylin in Hematoxylin-Eosin staining. It is used because the dye is resistant to acidic solutions, and it gives a high nuclear stain that is clear and bright. It has an absorption peak at 642 nm, with its blue color being known to be very intense.

Applications

  • Hematoxylin Substitute: Used in H-E staining to enhance nuclear detail and tissue contrast.
  • Nuclear Staining Agent: Applied with alum hematoxylin to produce intensified nuclear staining with excellent acid resistance.
  • Routine Tissue Staining: Suitable for routine staining of fixed tissue sections with consistent and reproducible results.
  • Electrochemical Applications: Used as an electroactive indicator in DNA biosensor development and bioanalytical research.

Key features

  • Hematoxylin Alternative, Reliable: It is a high-quality nuclear stain used in histological procedures.
  • Acid-Resistant Dye: This is used in low pH staining conditions.
  • Sharp Nuclear Definition: Provides accurate visualization of nuclei to examine them under a microscope.
  • Consistent and Accurate: Suitable to standard laboratory staining.
