Poster Title
P-15 Nile Blue A Liquid Crystalline Derivatives for Histological Staining
Abstract
The objectives of this project were to (1) synthetically modify Nile Blue A (NBA), a common biological stain, to create liquid crystalline derivatives and (2) probe into the differences between the common use of the biological dye as opposed to the modified liquid crystalline product. This involved the synthesis of the NBA liquid crystal derivative, characterization of product, and assaying for liquid crystalline properties. To evaluate its histological function, a general staining procedure for NBA was performed with both modified and unmodified NBA to evaluate novel properties that the liquid crystalline derivative of NBA presented.
