Melanin Bleaching Stain Baso Clear Colourful Stains for Healthcare Facility
Testing Principle
Melanin appears as brownish-yellow or brown granules in unstained or H&E-stained samples, which can easily be confused with hemosiderin or lipofuscin. Therefore, melanin staining or melanin bleaching is required for differentiation. This reagent uses a melanin-bleaching method. Both hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate are strong oxidizing agents that can break the aromatic ring of melanin, causing it to lose its color. The combination of these two agents shortens the reaction time, thereby reducing damage to tissue cells caused by strong oxidizers. Subsequently, oxalic acid is used for bleaching, achieving the goal of melanin removal.
Stain Results
Compared to slide B, the component that has been removed in slide A is melanin.
