General description

Metanil yellow is an azo dye, which is used as a counterstain in PAS (periodic acid-Schiff) or iron-hematoxylin stained sections to increase contrast. At pH 1.2, metanil yellow is red in color, whereas in pH 2.3, it is yellow in color.

Application

Cytoplasmic stain. Counterstain for mucicarmine stains.
