UND 363 Sudan Black B
Question | Answer |
---|---|
purpose for Sudan Black B | demo neutral lipids |
why is sudan black especially useful | most sensitive of lipid dyes. more soluble in phospholipids and cerebrosides Vs. Oil red O. |
how can sudan black be used for leukocytes | aids in diff'ing granulocyte precursors from leukocytes committed to lymphocytic or monocytic pathways |
principle for Sudan Black B | soluble in neutral fats. Is slightly basic dye and will combine with acidic groups in compound lipids (therefore will stain phospholipids) |
fix for Sudan Black B | 10%NBF, or sections post fixed in calcium formalin (cannot use alcoholic fixatives) |
tech | 10 micron FS's |
QC | not needed most tissue contains fat |
results for Sudan Black B | fat - blue-black, nuclei - red |
reagents (in order) | 100% proplylene glycol - dehydration (if not previously fixed then calcuim formol to prop glycol), sudan black b - fat stain, 85% propylene glycol - diff's, nuclear fast red - counter stain, aqueous mount |
note are same as oil red o | free float sections best, adding 30% sucrose before freezing, glycerin jelly temp, coverslipping issues |
