METHYL BLUE FOR MICROSCOPY
METHYL BLUE FOR MICROSCOPY
Methylene blue is used to stain blood films/smears used in cytology and to stain RNA or DNA for viewing under the microscope or on hybridization membranes. Methylene Blue solution has been used to stain human amniotic fluid stem cells to determine cell viability.

Methylene Blue is a cationic stain (positively charged blue dye); and binds to negatively charged parts of the cells, such as nucleus (DNA) and RNA in the cytoplasm (with lower affinity).
