Myelin is a substance rich in lipids and proteins that forms the myelin sheath around the axon of a neuron, acting as insulation. Traditionally, detection of the myelin sheath in peripheral nerves has relied on osmic acid staining for morphometrical assessment. However, osmic acid is extremely volatile and highly poisonous, with risks including corneal fixation leading to blindness, pulmonary edema, and even death at low exposure levels.
The Hito Luxol Fast Blue GMA OptimStain™ Kit provides a safe and effective alternative to osmic acid staining. Based on the Luxol fast blue method, this kit is non‑toxic and supplied in a ready‑to‑use format.
It offers high‑quality, rapid staining of the myelin sheath in glycolmethacrylate‑embedded (GMA) sections. Extensively tested, the kit has proven to be reliable and sensitive for demonstrating the morphological details of peripheral nerve myelin. A simple and effective solution for your research.
