Nuclear Fast Red Solution

Product details

Nuclear Fast Red Solution (ab246831) is a ready-to-use counterstain used in histological applications e.g. IHC and ISH. The reagent has improved stability over current formulations. Current formulations tend to precipitate in cold temperatures such as experienced during winter shipping. In addition, most formulations develop a small amount of precipitate over extended periods of time. This advanced formulation eliminates problems associated with exposure to cold and aging.
