Ready-to-use reagent. Prepared with ACS reagent grade Phenosafranin and Isopropanol. Suitable for laboratory use.
Product Overview
Phenosafranin is a versatile cationic dye used primarily as a redox indicator and biological stain in microbiology and histology. In redox reactions, it functions as an electron acceptor, exhibiting a distinct color change based on oxidation state—typically transitioning from red to colorless upon reduction.
In biological applications, phenosafranin binds to acidic components of cells, particularly nuclei and cytoplasmic structures, making it useful for visualizing cellular detail under the microscope. It is also applied in bacterial viability studies and certain botanical tissue stains.
Key Features:
- Functions as both a redox indicator and biological stain
- Distinct red coloration in oxidized form
- Color fades upon reduction, allowing redox monitoring
- Affinity for nucleic acids and acidic tissue components
- Available in powder or solution form
Applications:
- Redox indicator in analytical chemistry and electrochemical studies
- Nuclear and cytoplasmic staining in histological samples
- Bacterial cell visualization and viability testing
- Botanical microscopy and plant histology
- Teaching labs for staining and redox demonstrations
Phenosafranin offers dual utility in both redox analysis and biological staining, making it a reliable and adaptable reagent for clinical, academic, and research laboratories.
