Congo Red Staining Solution (1%)

Congo Red Staining Solution (1%) binds to amyloid aggregates, amyloid β-sheet structures, and self-aggregated major basic proteins through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, inducing absorption peak shift and abnormal birefringence under cross-polarized light^[1][2].
Congo Red Staining Solution (1%) acts as a pH indicator, supports image-based extraction of eosinophil granules, and can be used for the identification of amyloid substances in vitro and in tissue sections^[1][2].
Congo Red Staining Solution (1%) stains intact, cytolytic eosinophil granules and extracellular eosinophil granules, but does not stain diffuse/linear MBP deposits in cardiac tissue samples^[2].
Congo Red Staining Solution (1%) binds non-amyloid substances, inhibits amyloid fibril formation and accumulation of protease-resistant PrP, disrupts preformed polyglutamine oligomers, and induces oligomerization of native proteins^[1].
