NovaUltra Alizarin Red Stain Kit
SKU: IW-3001
The NovaUltra Alizarin Red Stain Kit uses Alizarin Red S to identify calcium in tissue sections. The stain forms an Alizarin Red S–calcium complex through chelation, producing a birefringent end product. The method is suitable for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections. The source notes that the reaction is not strictly specific for calcium and that several other elements can interfere when present at sufficient concentrations.
