Hematoxylin


Hematoxylin is a natural dye extracted from the heartwood of Haematoxylum campechianum tree. It is also known as Hydroxybrasilin or Natural Black 1 with CAS#517-28-2 and chemical formula C16H14O6. This fine yellow powder is widely used in histology to create nuclear stains due to its strong affinity for cell nuclei and nucleic acids. Hematoxylin is often paired with eosin to produce a contrast staining of tissues for examination under the microscope. It is known for producing crisp and clear staining with excellent color intensity.
