Beschreibung

General description

Methyl blue (C.I. 42780), is a dry dye for the preparation of a color staining solution used for the polychrome staining of histological tissue sections of human origin. The dye is a CE certified IVD product and has a constant dye content and a reliable high quality, which is one of the major precondition for a reproducible diagnostic staining. For more details, please see instructions for use (IFU). The IFU can be downloaded from this webpage.
