Eosin Yellow for Cell Culture by Molecular Depot is a eosin Y, the water-soluble brominated fluorescein dye used as the counterstain of haematoxylin and eosin. Eosin is an acid dye and binds the basic groups of cytoplasmic proteins, which is why it colours cytoplasm, collagen and muscle pink while haematoxylin takes the nuclei. It is used as the cytoplasmic counterstain in haematoxylin and eosin staining, in histology and cytology and in cell culture staining. Each unit contains 5 g. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
