Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt (DMMB) is a cationic dye. Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt competitively binds to the active site of the PANI-Benz-Ag nanocomposite with endotoxin, releasing DMMB and increasing the fluorescence intensity. Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt can be used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of bacteria (such as E. Coli) endotoxin. Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt can be used for the quantification of sulfated glycosaminoglycans.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt can be used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of bacteria (such as E. Coli) endotoxin, the detection protocol is as follows[1]:
1. Sample Preparation: Incubate the sample with a solution of Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt (DMMB) to allow it completely binding to Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (HY-D1056), forming a fluorescence‑quenched complex.
2. Introduction of the Nanocomposite Sensor: Add a defined quantity of PANI‑benzimidazole‑Ag nanocomposite to the mixture.
3. Competitive Binding and Displacement: Owing to its higher affinity for endotoxin, the nanocomposite displaces LPS from the Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt-LPS complex, leading to the recovery of fluorescence.
4. Fluorescence Detection and Analysis: Monitor the reaction area using confocal fluorescence microscopy. Record fluorescence images and quantify the signal recovery to determine endotoxin concentration.
Dimethyl methylene blue zinc chloride double salt can be used for the quantification of sulfated glycosaminoglycans[2].
