General description

Luxol® fast blue solution is a copper phthalocyanine preferred for staining myelin in paraffin processed tissue. Its use is restricted to the tissues of the central nervous system.

Application

Ready-to-use stain for myelin and phospholipids. Luxol® fast blue solution has been used to stain brain tissue in order to analyse the degree of demyelination. It has also been used in histological analysis of adult zebrafish cord, to study time course after injury.
