Usage

General Description

ASTRA BLUE FOR MICROSCOPY is a special dye predominantly used in biological research to stain certain types of cells, specifically for plant studies. The primary components of this dye are yet undisclosed by manufacturers due to proprietary reasons. However, chemical safety data suggests that it may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation, indicating it should be handled with appropriate protective equipment under laboratory conditions. As is common with many chemicals of its type, it is also not meant for ingestion or disposal in the environment without proper procedures. Therefore, correct handling and disposal procedures are essential for this compound. On the other hand, its specific staining properties make it a useful tool in microscopic investigation.
