Congo red is an amyloidophylic dye that specifically stains stacked ß sheet aggregates. Congo red is useful for staining and visual detection of amyloid deposits. This compound does not bind to non-polymerized amyloid peptide. Congo red inhibits the accumulation of the scrapie-associated, protease-resistant isoform of protein PrP without affecting the metabolism of the normal isoform.

Applications:
Biological Research: Congo Red has also found applications in biological research, such as investigating protein aggregation, studying cell cultures, and examining cellular structures.pH Indicator: Congo Red can act as a pH indicator, changing color depending on the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It appears red in acidic conditions and blue in alkaline conditions. This property makes it useful in various chemical and biological applicationsHistological Stain: Congo Red is widely used as a histological stain in microscopy and pathology. It is particularly useful in staining amyloid deposits, which are associated with various diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and certain types of systemic amyloidosis. Congo Red binds to amyloid fibrils and exhibits a characteristic green birefringence under polarized light.Dyeing: Congo Red has been used as a dye in the textile industry, primarily for wool and silk. However, its use in textile dyeing has diminished over time due to the availability of more stable and environmentally friendly dyes.
