Stains
Overcome normal optical limitations in microscopic studies by highlighting specific structures with stains and reagents and then protect samples with fixatives. The fast-acting dyes create strong contrasts between cell components for easier detection or analyses. Sensitive attractions to certain organelle or cellular components differ among offered stains, allowing precise testing modifications. Flexible in use, ready-to-use stains may be handled manually or in conjunction with automatic equipment.

VWR®, Nucleic acid loading dyes
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
Designed to optimise loading nucleic acids in agarose gels, the loading dye imparts colour to the sample to facilitate the loading process and increase the density of the sample to ensure efficient sample distribution into each well. The dye migrates independently from the sample, allowing estimation of the migration of nucleic acids.
