Azure B - Cytoplasmic & Granule Applications

Azure B demonstrates volutin granules (red-purple) in Corynebacteria and Bacilli distinguishing storage phosphate metabolism.

Histology labs incorporate 0.1-0.3% Azure B in Giemsa/Wright stains enhancing nuclear chromatin detail and RNP visualization.

Metachromatic staining differentiates acid mucopolysaccharides revealing mast cell granules and cartilage matrix.

Fluorescence emission supports vital nucleic acid staining in living cell studies.
