Hematoxylin staining is a well-established technique in histopathology and cytology for the diagnosis of malignant and non-malignant lesions. This compound forms strongly colored complexes with Fe(III) and Al(III) salts. Hematoxylin can be used as a primary stain and as a counterstain where it will differentiate acidophilic materials from basophilic materials and stain non-cellular substances such as fibrin, crystals, and pigments in various shades depending on the nature of the mordant used and the second stain.
