Frequently Asked Questions
What is Astra Blue used for?
Astra Blue is used for plant-tissue staining, particularly to highlight cellulose-rich structures and to provide histological contrast in combination with dyes such as safranin.
What are the main characteristics of Astra Blue?
Astra Blue is a phthalocyanine dye identified as C.I. 48048 and used in plant histology protocols to generate blue contrast in selected tissue components.
What is the function of Astra Blue in histological staining of plant tissues?
Astra Blue preferentially stains cellulose-containing components in botanical sections, generating blue contrast. In protocols combined with safranin, this contrast supports visual differentiation among structural regions of cell walls and tissues.
What quantities of Astra Blue are available?
Astra Blue is available in the 10 g presentation. For other quantities, recurring purchases, or larger requirements, contact the sales team to check availability and request a quotation.
How can companies and institutions purchase Astra Blue and request a formal quotation?
