noise pop band which broke up in 2006. [http://www.alcianblue.net/]Alcian blue (AB), also called Alcian blue 8GX, Ingrain blue 1, and C.I. 74240, is a
phthalocyanine dye that containscopper . The dye stains acidmucopolysaccharide s andglycosaminoglycan s, for which it is one of the most widely usedcationic dyes; the stained parts are blue to bluish-green. It can be combined withH&E stain ing andvan Gieson staining methods. It bonds byelectrostatic forces with the negatively chargedmacromolecule s. Gradual increases in the electrolyte concentration used to wash the bound dye selectively identifies neutral, sulphated, and phosphated mucopolysaccharides.External links
