Sudan 3 stain is a lipophilic dye that selectively binds to lipids, making it useful for identifying fat storage granules in seeds. When applied to seed sections, Sudan 3 stains the fat granules red, allowing for clear visualization under a microscope. This staining technique helps differentiate lipid content from other cellular components, providing insight into the seed's nutritional reserves and potential for germination.
They contain a bilobed nucleus and their granules stain red, due to the eosin dye. Plus, the granules themselves look almost crystalline. Don't get them confused with basophils which also have a bilobed nucleus BUT basophils granules do not stain well (and when they do they stain blue) in comparision.

Granulocytes can be identified when their cytoplasmic granules are stained with Wright's stain. Agranulocytes do not have cytoplasmic granules so they will not have stained granules.
Eosinophils are the blood cells whose granules stain bright orange-red when using Wright's stain. This staining highlights their role in immune responses and inflammation.
A confirmatory test that could be performed to identify oval fat bodies is the Sudan III stain test, which is used to specifically detect lipid material such as fat. Sudan III stains fat droplets orange to red under a microscope, aiding in the identification of oval fat bodies in urine sediment.
Sudan black B stainThis stain distinguishes between acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cells stain positive) and acute myeloblastic leukemia (cells stain negative).
Iodine stain is commonly used to detect amyloplasts due to their ability to stain starch granules purple-black.
it produces a brick/dark red stain.
Basophils are the white blood cell type that has granules that stain dark purple in response to an alkaline dye. These granules contain substances such as histamine and heparin, which play a role in inflammatory reactions and allergic responses.
Iodine is used to detect starch, as it reacts with the amylose component to produce a blue-black color. Sudan dyes, particularly Sudan III and Sudan IV, are used to detect lipids, as they stain fat droplets and provide visual evidence of lipid presence. Both tests are commonly utilized in laboratory settings to identify the respective macromolecules in samples.
Sudan III is used to detect the presence of lipids (specifically triglycerides) in various samples, such as food, blood, and forensic samples. It is commonly used in experiments to visually identify the presence of fats and oils due to its ability to stain lipid-rich substances.
No, starch does not stain red in the Sudan test. The Sudan test is specifically used to detect lipids, which will stain red due to the dye used in the test. Starch, being a polysaccharide, does not react with the Sudan dye and will not produce a red coloration. Instead, starch can be detected using iodine, which turns blue-black in its presence.
