Cotton blue (CAS: 28983-56-4) is a bluish black powdered dye whose chemical formula is C37H27N3Na2O9S3. It is also known as Methyl blue. Cotton Blue stain is made using lactophenol which serves both as the mounting fluid and the stain. Cotton Blue, being an aniline dye, is selectively stained in cell wall chitin in fungi, which increases contrast and makes structures of fungi easier to see. This causes it to be a popular stain in histological and mycological uses.
Applications
- Widely used in fungal staining procedures.
- It is a fungal cell-wall-bound acid dye that gives fungal hyphae a typical blue colour.
Key features
- Trusted & Accurate Results: Gives steady and clear visualization of fungal structure.
- Stable Composition: Designed to retain color and stability of performance.
- General Use: Suitable in educational, diagnostic and research laboratories.
