HistoKit Congo Red – Special Staining Kit for Histopathology

What is Congo Red and what is it used for?

Congo Red staining is an essential histochemical technique for identifying amyloid deposits in tissues and is widely used in the diagnosis of associated conditions such as amyloidosis and neurodegenerative diseases. This stain provides a clear visualization of the amyloids, which are reddish or reddish-pink and exhibit an apple-green birefringence under polarized light. This visual feature is highly indicative of the presence of amyloids, differentiating them from other tissue structures, and is a method widely adopted in nerve and muscle tissue analysis.
