Description
Resorcinol-Fuchsine solution according to Weigert is a microscopy stain prepared for histological and related laboratory staining workflows. The solution has a density of 0,9 g/cm³, a flash point of 12 °C, and a boiling point above 65 °C, indicating a flammable solvent-based character that requires careful bench handling. Histology laboratories apply Weigert-type resorcinol-fuchsine formulations when visualising elastic fibres and comparable tissue structures under the microscope. The reagent from manufacturer Carl ROTH is supplied ready for microscopy use, supporting consistent staining performance without in-house preparation of the dye mixture. UN number 2924 guides transport classification and internal hazardous-materials procedures. Store and dispense away from ignition sources, using appropriate personal protective equipment and ventilated work areas. The defined pack format and application focus help integrate the stain into standardised microscopy protocols in clinical, research, and educational settings.
This article is part of Microscopy stains & staining solutions, in Dyes, stains & indicators.

Questions about Resorcinol-Fuchsine-solution, acc. to Weigert, for microscopy, 500 ml, glass
What is this article?
Resorcinol-Fuchsine-solution, acc. to Weigert, for microscopy, 500 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Microscopy stains & staining solutions, inside Dyes, stains & indicators, in Lab chemicals.
A microscopy stain binds a structure so it can be seen: haematoxylin on nuclei, eosin on cytoplasm, Gram reagents on a bacterial wall. A ready solution and a dry dye to be dissolved are different articles. The method names the stain. A substitute dye is a different method.
A dye or a stain binds, or changes colour, so that something invisible becomes visible. An indicator changes at a pH or a redox point. A fluorescent dye absorbs one wavelength and emits another, which is how a microscope or a plate reader picks it out. The excitation and emission, or the transition interval, are the specification. The colour name on the label is not. Structures are on PubChem under IUPAC names. Methods are in the PubMed literature.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Dyes, stains & indicators. The sub-category is Microscopy stains & staining solutions. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Fluorescent dyes & labels and Dyes & pigments.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
