General description

Azocarmine G is a synthetic dye, commonly used in food and beverages to restore their original appearance, in situations where, the color is affected by processing, storage, packaging and distribution.[1]
Azocarmine G is useful for protein determination in acidic medium. It is indicated by the formation of purple-red complex.[2]
Standard stain for microscopy. Azocarmine G may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in food and beverages using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD).[1]

Application

Azocarmine G is a standard stain for microscopy.
It may be also be used as a reference standard in the determination of azocarmine G in food products and beverages using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD).[1]

In Feulgen nuclear staining nonspecific dye-binding due to the "pseudo-plasmal reaction" is intensified in isolated cells with intact cytoplasm, and cannot be eliminated by the post-irradiation method. Fluorescence intensity in the cytoplasm sometimes exceeds that of specific nuclear fluorescence, especially

Sections from the human somatosensory cortex were observed with a light microscope. The neurons were classified into light and dark ones. The light neurons were slightly stained with thionin, luxol fast blue MBS and azocarmine G (80% of all neurons).

A technique for isolation of cells from paraffin embedded tissue is indispensable for the performance of Feulgen-DNA cytofluorometry in parallel with the definition of histological characteristics. Background fluorescence due to nonspecific dye-binding by a "pseudo-plasmal reaction" is usually found to
