Eosin-Nigrosin Sperm Viability Staining Solution
Eosin-Nigrosin Sperm Viability Staining Solution is a differential viability staining solution used to distinguish live/dead sperm and other cells, consisting of Eosin Y (HY-D0505) and Nigrosin (HY-W250145). Eosin-Nigrosin Sperm Viability Staining Solution cannot penetrate the membrane of live cells; it stains dead cells dark pink and uses nigrosin to form a contrasting dark background. Eosin-Nigrosin Sperm Viability Staining Solution can distinguish live sperm, dead sperm and sperm with neck leakage, and can stain dead sperm or sperm affected by excessive microbial growth.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Eosin-Nigrosin Sperm Viability Staining Solution relies on the property that Eosin cannot penetrate the intact cell membrane of live sperm to clearly distinguish the viability status of bovine and human sperm, bacteria and other somatic cells; live sperm exhibit white/pale pink heads, dead sperm show dark pink/red-stained heads, and sperm with only partial staining at the neck are determined to be live sperm[1][2].
Eosin-Nigrosin Sperm Viability Staining Solution enables rapid preparation of slides for sperm viability counting, and the stained slides can be preserved for a long period[2].
