Haematoxylin h3136

Manufactured by Merck Group

Haematoxylin (H3136) is a natural dye commonly used as a staining agent in histology and cytology laboratories. It is extracted from the heartwood of the Logwood tree (Haematoxylum campechianum). Haematoxylin serves as a nuclear stain, coloring cell nuclei blue or purple, which allows for the visualization and identification of cellular structures during microscopic examination.

Histopathological Analysis of Rat Liver and Intestine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After rat liver and intestinal mucosa were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (16005, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 24 h, they were dehydrated by gradient alcohol, transparentized by xylene (95682, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and embedded in paraffin (1496904, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Subsequently, the paraffinized tissues were cut into 5 μm thick sections, dewaxed by xylene and rehydrated by gradient alcohol. Then, the sections were stained with haematoxylin (H3136, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 12 min. After being differentiated by hydrochloric alcohol, the sections were stained with eosin (E4009, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 5 min. Thereafter, the stained sections were sealed by neutral balsam (N861409, Macklin, Shanghai, China) and dried at 37 °C for 4 h. Afterwards, the histopathological changes in the liver tissues and intestinal mucosa tissues were observed by an optical microscope (ZEISS Primotech, Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) under magnifications of ×200 and ×40, respectively.
The morphological changes in liver were determined by NAFLD activity score, which includes histological features and has been defined as unweighted sum of scores for steatosis (0–3), lobular inflammation (0–3) and ballooning (0–2).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
