Nile Blue A is highly fluorescent, and photostable organic dye used in biology and histology. And Nile Blue A is for use in lipid histochemistry. Nile blue A stains acidic components, such as phospholipids, nucleic and fatty acids by imparting a dark blue color, while neutral lipids, namely triglycerides, are stained pink, or red. Nile blue A is suitable for staining and discriminating between melanins and lipofuscins in paraffin sections of animal tissue, and in a histochemical method for lipids in frozen sections.
