Carmoisine 6R
Description
Chromotrope 2R may be used as the plasma stain in trichrome techniques, most notably in Gomori's one-step method. It can replace xylidine ponceau in Masson's trichrome.
It has been suggested as a replacement for eosin Y following nuclear staining with Celestine blue B. One of its most well-known uses is in solution with phenol in Lendrum's method for eosinophil granules.
