Background

Nuclear Fast Red is suitable for the determination of calcium. It is suitable for use in prussian blue staining in neural progenitor cells. It may be employed as highly sensitive "off/on" fluorescent probe for the determination of guanine. Nuclear fast red (2-anthracenesulfonic acid, 4-amino-9,10-dihydro-1,3-dihydroxy-9,10-dioxo-, monosodium salt) may be used as selective complexing agent for the simultaneous determination of copper and bismuth by adsorptive stripping voltammetry.
Boster’s Nuclear Fast Red is an optimized nuclear counterstain solution that produces an intense nuclear stain. It is an anionic dye used in conjunction with an aluminium salt as a mordant. In contrast to hematoxylin, Nuclear Fast Red is a rapid staining procedure, which requires only step and stains nucleus in five minutes. It is an excellent alternative in multiple labeling when hematoxylin would otherwise obscure the substrate colors.

Protocol

1. Rinse sections in distilled water.

2. Add 50 μl Nuclear Fast Red directly onto the tissue section and incubate for 5 minutes.

3. Wash with distilled water for 1 minute.
