Purpose |
Congo Red Highman is a histological staining method used specifically to detect amyloid deposits. |
Working Principle
|
Congo Red: Congo red is an aniline dye that has a tendency to bind to amyloid proteins. This binding allows amyloids to be clearly visible under the microscope. Sections are incubated in Congo red solution for a specific time. In this step, Congo red binds to amyloid fibrils, causing the amyloid deposits to appear red. |
Warnings, Precautions, Recommendations
|
Danger. Warning. Highly flammable liquid and vapour. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause cancer. Keep away from heat/sparks/flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Keep container tightly closed. IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Dry skin with water/shower. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
