1% Methylene Blue - 30mL Microscopy Stain for Viewing Animal Cells and Bacteria

Methylene Blue (1%) is a widely used microscopy stain ideal for visualizing microscopic life in vivid color. Known for its attraction to acids, this stain effectively highlights cell nuclei, which contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), making it particularly useful for observing animal cells. It also enhances the visibility of bacteria, which are naturally colorless and difficult to see, even under a microscope.

This 30mL bottle of Methylene Blue includes a convenient glass dropper for precise application.

How to Use Methylene Blue for Best Results

Follow this simple step-by-step process to stain your microscopic specimens effectively:

1. Prepare Your Slide: Create a wet mount slide with your specimen.
2. Apply the Stain: Add 1 drop of Methylene Blue to one outer edge of the cover slip.
3. Draw the Stain Under the Cover Slip:
   • Place a small piece of paper towel on the opposite edge of the cover slip.
   • The paper towel will draw the stain across the specimen using capillary action.
4. Wait and Verify: Allow the stain to fully cover the specimen.
   • If necessary, add another drop of stain to ensure complete coverage.
5. Observe Under the Microscope: Place the slide on the microscope stage.
   • The cell nuclei will appear as the darkest blue areas under the microscope.

Applications

• Laboratory Use: Cell staining and bacterial visualization.
• Educational Microscopy: Perfect for classrooms, biology labs, and science projects.
• Professional Microscopy: Used in research to study cellular structures and microscopic life.
