| Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 | A general protein stain used in electrophoresis because of its unusual sensitivity. Origin: originally, a proprietary name of Imperial Chemical; Coomassie (Kumasi), Ghana (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| polychrome methylene blue | An alkaline solution of methylene blue which undergoes progressive oxidative demethylation with aging (ripening) to produce a mixture of methylene blue, azures, and methylene violet; boiling with sodium carbonate or other oxidizing agents accomplishes this result quickly, although it is not as highly regarded. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cresyl blue | C17H20N3OCl; Aminodimethylaminoethyldiphenazonium chloride;a basic oxazin dye used for staining the reticulum in young erythrocytes (reticulocytes); also used in vital staining and as a selective stain for gastric surface epithelial mucin and other acid mucopolysaccharides. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Prussian blue | Fe4(Fe(CN)6)3; ferric ferrocyanide;a dye used to colour injection masses for blood vessels and lymphatics, and in staining of siderocytes. Synonym: Prussian blue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prussian blue reaction | The reaction of potassium ferrocyanide with ferric iron to yield a dark blue precipitate at the sites of the ferric iron. Used to determine ferric iron in tissues, particularly in the diagnosis of disorders of iron metabolism. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Prussian blue stain | <technique> A stain employing acid potassium ferrocyanide to demonstrate iron, as in siderocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sea-blue histiocyte | A histiocyte containing cytoplasmic granules that stain bright blue with haematologic stains such as Wright-Giemsa; found in bone marrow and in the spleen, associated with hepatosplenomegaly and thrombocytopenic purpura and in other blood diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sea-blue histiocyte disease | Splenomegaly and mild thrombocytopenia, with histiocytes in the bone marrow which contain cytoplasmic granules that stain bright blue; sometimes familial; perhaps a lipidosis; autosomal recessive inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sea-blue histiocyte syndrome | <syndrome> Rare disorder consisting of splenomegaly, mild purpura secondary to thrombocytopenia, and occasionally, hepatic cirrhosis associated with the appearance of numerous histiocytes in the spleen and bone marrow which stain a sea-blue colour. It is sometimes considered a variant of niemann-pick disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pyrrol blue | C4OH3ON3O6Na;an acid triarylmethane dye employed as a vital dye and as an elastin stain. Synonym: Isamine blue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sky blue | A pigment mixture of cobaltous stannate and calcium sulfate; used biologically as an injection mass. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nevus, blue | A benign nevus, usually solitary, representing a localised proliferation of dermal melanocytes, which is manifested by a dark blue to black, moderately firm, rounded, sharply defined nodular tumour composed of spindle-shaped melanocytes with slender cytoplasmic processes, occurring often in association with melanin-laden macrophages in a sclerotic dermis. It is also called dermal melanocytoma and jadassohn-tieche nevus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| new methylene blue | A basic thiazin dye, C18H22N3SCl, used for supravital staining of reticulocytes in blood smears. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Nile blue A | A basic oxazin dye, C20H20N3OCl, used as a fat and vital stain, and in Kittrich's stain; as an indicator, it changes from blue to purplish red at pH 10 to 11. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indigo blue | Origin: F. Indigo, Sp. Indigo, indico, L. Indicum indigo, fr. Indicus Indian. See Indian. 1. A kind of deep blue, one of the seven prismatic colours. 2. <chemistry> A blue dyestuff obtained from several plants belonging to very different genera and orders; as, the woad, Isatis tinctoria, Indigofera tinctoria, I. Anil, Nereum tinctorium, etc. It is a dark blue earthy substance, tasteless and odorless, with a copper-violet luster when rubbed. Indigo does not exist in the plants as such, but is obtained by decomposition of the glycoside indican. Commercial indigo contains the essential colouring principle indigo blue or indigotine, with several other dyes; as, indigo red, indigo brown, etc, and various impurities. Indigo is insoluble in ordinary reagents, with the exception of strong sulphuric acid. <botany> Chinese indigo, the American herb Baptisia tinctoria which yields a poor quality of indigo, as do several other species of the same genus. Having the colour of, pertaining to, or derived from, indigo. <botany> Indigo berry, the gopher snake. Indigo white, a white crystalline powder obtained by reduction from indigo blue, and by oxidation easily changed back to it; called also indigogen. Indigo yellow, a substance obtained from indigo.
