Copper Staining

Copper staining is a laboratory technique used to highlight specific structures in biological tissues by applying a copper-based dye. This method helps researchers and pathologists identify and study particular cellular components, such as proteins or tissue features, with enhanced contrast. The copper dye binds selectively to certain tissue elements, making them more visible under a microscope. Copper staining is useful in medical and scientific settings to analyze tissue samples, diagnose diseases, or understand biological processes. It’s valued for its specificity and ability to produce clear, detailed images of intricate tissue structures.
