Description
Toluidine Blue (Toluidine Blue O) is an alkaline quinonimine dye (vivo dye) with high affinity for acidic tissue components, staining nuclei blue and polysaccharides purple. Toluidine Blue shows heterostaining properties for mast cells, mucins and chondrocytes. Toluidine Blue can stain different components of plant tissues and cells in different colours. Toluidine Blue is also used as a diagnostic aid to identify malignant lesions, such as cancer[1][2][3].
