Carmine is a red compound and is commonly used with aluminum, iron or other metal salts to enhance its activity. The dye is used in Orth's lithium carmine staining for demonstrating nuclei in animal tissue and in Schneider's acetocarmine staining for depicting chromosomes at various stages of nuclear division. During smear preparation, carmine is required for chromatin staining in fresh material. In presence of aluminum chloride, it is used for the staining of glycogen.
