Methylene Blue 50 ml

Methylene Blue (Methylene Blue, MB), also known as methylene chloride, is an aromatic heterocyclic compound belonging to the phenothiazine dye group. For many years, it has been widely used in biological, chemical, and industrial laboratories – both as a redox indicator and an analytical dye.

Chemical properties:

• Chemical name: Methylthioninium chloride

• Summary formula: C₁₆H₁₈ClN₃S

• Molar mass: 319.85 g/mol

• CAS No.: 61-73-4

• Appearance: Dark blue powder or crystals

Characteristics:

Methylene blue exhibits redox properties – under anaerobic conditions it can be reduced to the colorless leucoform, and in the presence of oxygen it reverts to the oxidized (blue). This property makes it a valuable indicator in chemical reactions and biological processes.

Laboratory and research applications:

• Cell and tissue staining in optical microscopy

• Redox indicator in analytical chemistry

• Biological Membrane Permeability Studies

• Determination of Oxygen Content in Biological Samples

• Electrochemical Reactions and Oxidative Stress Studies
