Description
Uses of Sudan 3 Solution:
- Histology:
- Lipid Staining in Tissue Sections: Sudan III stains lipids in tissue sections, especially in frozen sections, which helps in identifying and visualizing lipid droplets within cells and tissues. This is useful for diagnosing conditions like fatty liver disease and lipid storage disorders.
- Cytology:
- Cell Smears: It stains lipids in cell smears, aiding in examining cells for lipid content. This is important in diagnosing metabolic conditions or infections involving lipid accumulation.
- Forensic Pathology:
- Detection of Fat Emboli: Sudan III is used to detect fat emboli in tissues, which can be crucial in cases of trauma, decompression sickness, or other conditions where fat emboli may be present.
- Plant Biology:
- Analysis of Seed Lipids: In plant biology, Sudan III stains lipids in seeds and other plant tissues, helping in the study of lipid storage and metabolism in plants.
- Microbiology:
- Staining of Bacterial Lipids: Sudan III can stain certain types of bacteria that contain lipid-rich cell walls, aiding in their identification and characterization.
- Clinical Diagnostics:
- Identifying Lipid-Rich Deposits: It is used in clinical settings to identify lipid-rich deposits in various tissues, indicative of diseases such as atherosclerosis or lipid storage diseases.
- Veterinary Medicine:
- Lipid Analysis in Animal Tissues: Sudan III can be used to analyze lipid content in animal tissues, assisting in diagnosing lipid-related conditions in veterinary practice.

Ammonia Solution 2.5litres
An ammonia solution is a solution of ammonia (NH3) gas dissolved in water. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor and a basic pH. The concentration of ammonia in the solution can vary, and is typically expressed in terms of percent by weight or by volume.
Ammonia solutions are commonly used in a variety of applications, including cleaning agents, fertilizers, and as a precursor to other chemicals. They are also used in industrial processes such as refrigeration, gas purification, and water treatment. Ammonia solutions can be dangerous if not handled properly, as they are highly corrosive and can release toxic fumes if mixed with certain chemicals
Sodium Thiosulphate 25kg
Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) is an inorganic compound that is commonly used as a photographic fixer, as well as in medical and industrial applications. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a mild odor. In photography, sodium thiosulfate is used to remove unexposed silver halide from photographic prints and negatives, making the image permanent. In medicine, it is used as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, and in industrial applications, it is used as a reducing agent, a dechlorinating agent, and in water treatment processes.
