Logwood Extract (Haematein) CAS#475-25-2

Natural Dye Precursor: Hematoxylin extract is a naturally derived compound, making it a preferred choice for applications seeking plant-based or eco-friendly dye solutions.

Readily Oxidizable: It can be easily oxidized to form hematoxylin oxide, enabling controlled preparation of active dye forms for various applications.

Effective in Aqueous Systems: It performs well in aqueous solutions, particularly under alkaline conditions, supporting broad usability in laboratory staining procedures.

Versatile in Histological Use: Due to its oxidizable properties and color potential, it serves as a key component in histology and microscopy for cell and tissue staining.

Product Description

Hematoxylin extract (oxidized hematoxylin) acts as a natural precursor of the dye hematoxylin, which is generated through an oxidation process. Hematoxylin oxide is the product formed as a result of this oxidation. In aqueous media, especially under alkaline conditions, it is easily further oxidized upon exposure to air.

Product Application
Logwood extract (haematein) has a wide range of applications. In the textile industry, it is used as a natural dye particularly suitable for coloring wool and silk fibers. In combination with different mordants, it can produce a broad spectrum of hues, ranging from bright purple to deep black. In laboratory use, the oxidized hematoxylin it contains can react with metal ions to form colored complexes. It is commonly used together with eosin in H&E staining, where it helps in the visualization and analysis of cellular structures.
