Haematoxylin Stain Powder- 25gm Packs

Haematoxylin Stain Powder contains haematoxylin, a natural organic dye obtained from logwood and widely used in histological and microscopic staining methods. In routine histology, haematoxylin is commonly oxidised to haematin and used with a suitable mordant to produce staining of nuclei and other tissue structures. Its staining performance depends on the formulation, oxidation state, mordant, pH, and protocol; the powder alone should not be assumed to be a ready-to-use stain. Haematoxylin is represented by the molecular formula C16H14O6 and has a molar mass of approximately 302.28 g/mol. It is used in educational and research laboratories following an established method and appropriate chemical-handling precautions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Haematoxylin Stain Powder

What is haematoxylin stain powder used for?

Haematoxylin is used to prepare staining reagents for microscopy, especially histological methods that visualise nuclei and tissue structures. The powder generally requires formulation according to a defined method and is not automatically a ready-to-use stain.

What is the molecular formula and molecular weight of haematoxylin?

Haematoxylin has the molecular formula C16H14O6 and a molar mass of approximately 302.28 g/mol. These values refer to haematoxylin itself, not to a prepared staining solution containing other ingredients.

What is the CAS number of haematoxylin?

The commonly cited CAS Registry Number for haematoxylin is 517-28-2. Verify that the material supplied is haematoxylin rather than a formulated haematoxylin stain or a related compound.

Why are a mordant and oxidation step used in haematoxylin staining?

Many established histological methods convert haematoxylin to haematin and use a mordant to form a coloured complex that binds to tissue structures. The exact chemistry and procedure depend on the staining formulation and method.

How should haematoxylin powder be stored and handled?

Protect the material from light, moisture, and contamination, and keep the container tightly closed. Avoid dust and direct contact, wear suitable PPE, and follow the current SDS for storage, handling, and waste-disposal requirements.

Storage Conditions for Haematoxylin Stain Powder

Store in a tightly closed, labelled container in a cool, dry place, protected from excessive light and moisture. Avoid contamination and follow the supplier’s SDS for product-specific temperature and segregation requirements. Keep the container closed when not in use.

Precautions for Handling Haematoxylin Stain Powder

Review the current SDS before use. Avoid generating or inhaling dust and prevent contact with skin and eyes; use suitable gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection. Prepare staining solutions only by an established procedure, provide appropriate ventilation, and manage spills and waste under institutional rules.
