Dyes & Chromogenic Substrates

Dyes and chromogenic substrates are essential biochemical reagents widely used for detecting, visualizing, and quantifying biomolecules in various biological and biochemical assays. This category includes reagents designed for both cellular and enzymatic staining applications.

Cell & Tissue Stains such as Alizarin Red S, Alcian Blue 8GX, Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250, and Alkali Blue 6B Sodium Salt are used to selectively stain specific cell and tissue components, including proteins, polysaccharides, and mineral deposits. These stains enable researchers to observe structural features and assess biological processes in histological and cell biology studies.

Enzyme Chromogenic Substrates, represented by X-Gluc (CHX salt), provide a means to visualize enzyme activity through colorimetric reactions. Upon enzymatic cleavage, these substrates produce insoluble or soluble colored products, facilitating the detection of enzymatic expression and localization in molecular biology and genetic studies.

Together, these reagents form a vital toolkit for visualization, quantification, and analysis in life science research.
