Sudan Black

Product Description

Sudan Black B is a fat-soluble diazo dye widely used for staining lipids, phospholipids, and sterols in biological tissues and cells. It is part of the Sudan dye family and provides a deep blue-black coloration to lipid-rich components, making it ideal for microscopic examination, histology, cytology, and hematology.

Known for its high staining specificity and contrast, Sudan Black B is extensively used in laboratory research, medical diagnostics, and industrial quality control. It is especially valuable in identifying fat deposits in cells, lipoproteins in blood smears, and oil contamination in materials.
