Alcian yellow is an azo dye with the formula (CH₃[(CH₃N)₂CS]₂C₆H₂SNCC₆H₄)₂N₂. Its structure consists of a largely conjugated array of benzene, benzothiazole and isothiouronium units.

Histological Use edit

Alcian yellow is used in histology in conjunction with toluidine blue to help visualize H. pylori.^[1] The resulting structures are stained as follows:^[2]

– Mucin: yellow

– H. pylori: blue

– Other cellular components/background: shades of blue
