Product Introduction:

Alcian, also known as alcian blue 8GX, is a conjugated dye of copper titanium cyanine, which was originally used for textile fiber dyeing. This cationic dye combines with acidic groups, that is, alcian blue forms an insoluble complex with anionic groups such as carboxyl groups and sulfate groups contained in the tissue. Alcian blue is formed by connecting the central copper containing phthalocyanine ring with four isothiourea groups through thioether bonds. It can be combined with different anion groups at different pH and colored.
