Amyloid & Neurodegeneration Stains

PathoGreen™ Histofluorescent Stain is an anionic green fluorescent dye functionally similar to Fluoro-Jade dyes. These dyes stain degenerating neurons and their processes after exposure to a variety of neurotoxic insults in brain sections and cultured neurons.

Congo Red has been used in microscopy for staining elastic fibers and bacteria. Amyloid protein, an abnormal protein aggregate associated with various pathologies, is commonly detected in tissue with Congo Red.

Far-red fluorescent probe with high affinity for Aβ plaques/aggregates, that can be used for fluorescent staining of brain sections and in vivo detection of Aβ_1-42 aggregates in small animals.

A cell-permeable dye that exhibits enhanced fluorescence upon binding to amyloid fibrils, and has been used in histology and for protein characterization.
