Sudan Stain

Sudan stain is a special dye used in laboratories to detect fats and lipids in cells and tissues. When applied, it selectively binds to fats, making them visible under a microscope as dark or brightly colored areas. This technique helps scientists and medical professionals identify and study fat accumulation within biological samples, useful for diagnosing conditions related to abnormal fat storage or metabolic issues. The stain’s ability to distinguish lipids from other cellular components makes it a valuable tool in biomedical research and pathology.
