Stain for showing collagen, muscle, cytoplasm and cells in mammalian tissuesFast Green FCF is used as a quantitative stain for histones and protein stain in electrophoresis. It is also used as a food dye, which is poorly absorbed by intestine. It is used for tinned green peas and other vegetables, jellies, sauces, fish and desserts. It is considered as a replacement of Light Green SF yellowish in Masson's trichrome. Further, it is utilized in tissue stain.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
