EZstain™ Chondrocyte Staining Kit

Chondrocytes are mature cells found in cartilage. They make up the cellular matrix of cartilage. EZStainTM Chondrocyte Staining Kit is a ready-to-use kit developed for detection of chondrocytes by staining the proteoglycan produced by them. Chondrocytes are mature cells found in cartilage. They make up the cellular matrix of cartilage. The matrix consists of aggrecan and collagen. Aggrecan is the major proteoglycan present in the cartilage. CCK029, EZStainTM Chondrocyte Staining Kit is a ready-to-use kit developed for detection of chondrocytes by staining the proteoglycan produced by them. Alcian blue is a basic dye that stains acidic proteoglycan present in cartilage. It specifically binds sulfated glycosaminoglycan chains present in the chondrocyte matrix and stains them blue in colour.
