Application
Congo red has been used for the staining of β amyloid peptides.
Certified for use as a counterstain for alum based hematoxylin and in the Highman or the Churukian modification of Puchtler′s amyloid stain.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Congo red is a benzidine-based anionic diazo dye. It is a histological dye which binds to many amyloid proteins and is used for the quantification of amyloid β-peptide aggregation. Congo red also interacts with β-D-glucans, polysaccharides containing continuous β-(1→4)-linked D-glucopyranosyl units and some hemicellulosic galactoglucomannans.

Why does the SDS for Congo Red list carcinogen as an OSHA hazard, (Section 2) but in Section 11 on carcinogenicity, it states that there is no component identified as a carcinogen?
1 answer-
The reason that there is not an OSHA listing for carcinogens on most of SDS that have a hazard of a carcinogen hazard is because that section of the SDS is specifically for the OSHA regulated carcinogens, also referred to as the OSHA 13. Congo red at this time is not specifically called out as a carcinogen by the other 3 Organizations listed (IARC, NTP, ACGIH) either. Congo red is listed by the European Classification Labeling & Packaging (CLP) Regulation (which is a pretty definitive guide for hazard classification), as a carcinogen. No other organizations have had the time to classify this material at this time. This is why it is only listed as a carcinogen in section 2 and in section 15.
