Prussian Blue

Prussian Blue is widely used as a histochemical stain to detect ferric iron (Fe³?) in biological tissues. Also known as ferric ferrocyanide, Prussian Blue forms an insoluble blue pigment when iron reacts with potassium ferrocyanide in acidic conditions. As its color arises from a chemical reaction product formed in situ, this stain can specifically localize and quantify iron deposits. Applications of Prussian Blue include studying iron metabolism and regulation, as well as the diagnosis of iron disorders like hemochromatosis and siderosis.
