Toluidine blue is an acidophilic metachromatic dye that selectively stains acidic tissues components such as sulphates, carboxylates and phosphate radicals. It has high affinity for nucleic acids and polysaccharides. It binds to nuclear material of tissues with high DNA and RNA content. It works on the principle of metachromasia.
