Description

Nuclear counterstain useful in pH range 6.8 to 8.0 | CAS: 553-24-2 | C15H17ClN4 | 288.779 g/mol

Neutral Red is most commonly used for histological stain for lysosymes but has also been incorporated in investigation of viruses, as a pH indicator, determination of DNA with optical and electrochemical methods, evaluation of synthetic and naturally derived biomaterials. Neutral red can be electrochemically polymerized and used as a redox mediator. The compound once taken up by cells can be used to acertain cell viability with a excitation maximum at 470 nm and emission maximum at 580nm. It is used as a red nuclear counter stain in various cytochemical procedures. It is suitable for microscopy and microbiology and supravital staining of living blood cells. A vital dye used as an indicator and biological stain.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
