Hematoxylin Powder

Description

Hematoxylin powder is a natural dye obtained from the heartwood of the dyewood tree, scientifically known as Haematoxylin campechianum or Logwood. This tree is native to tropical regions of Central and South America, and its heartwood contains hematoxylin, a chemical compound that has the ability to bind to cellular structures and tissues, making it a valuable component in histology and cytology. , especially in the field of tissue and cell staining.

For Hematoxylin to become a functional dye, it undergoes an oxidation process that transforms it into hematoxylin. Hematein is the active form of Hematoxylin and is responsible for binding to cellular structures, allowing microscopic details to be accurately revealed in tissue preparations or biological samples.
