Mucicarmine（Cat No.:I043076）is a histological stain used to detect mucin, a glycoprotein present in mucus-producing cells. It is commonly employed in pathology to identify epithelial tumors, particularly in tissue samples from the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and other mucous-producing organs. Mucicarmine binds to acidic mucopolysaccharides in the mucin, resulting in a red or pink stain under the microscope, allowing for clear visualization of mucin-producing cells. This staining technique is crucial for differentiating mucinous tumors from other types and for diagnosing various conditions, including adenocarcinomas and other mucin-secreting malignancies.
