Nuclear Fast Red

Nuclear Fast Red, an anthraquinone dye, is commonly used in conjunction with an excess of aluminum ions as a red nuclear counterstain. Nuclear fast red has been used as a histochemical and colorimetric reagent for calcium[1]. Nuclear fast red as highly sensitive "off/on" fluorescent probe for detecting guanine[2].
