Plant Analysis Dyes

BODIPY505/515 is a BODIPY dye. BODIPY dye is a small molecule dye with strong ultraviolet absorption ability, its fluorescence peak is relatively sharp, and the quantum yield is high. They are relatively insensitive to the polarity and pH of the environment and are relatively stable under different physiological conditions. Due to its structural asymmetry, BODIPY derives a variety of structural products. BODIPY lipid droplet dyes can well pass through the cell membrane into the cell, and localize the neutral lipids in the cell to specifically stain the lipid droplets, which can be used for labeling of live cells and fixed cells. Maximum excitation/emission wavelength: 505/515 nm.

Neutral Red, a nitrogenous pH-indicator with a pK_i of 6.8, is an indicator for the internal acidification of thylakoids. Neutral Red stains lysosomes red.

3-Cyano-7-ethoxycoumarin is a fluorescent cytochrome P-450 substrate that generates a blue fluorescent product upon enzymatic cleavage. 3-Cyano-7-ethoxycoumarin is used to detect the activity of mixed-function oxidases in isolated rat hepatocytes. 3-Cyano-7-ethoxycoumarin serves as a biological dye and indicator for research.

Toluidine Blue (Toluidine Blue O) purity 36% is an alkaline quinonimine dye (vivo dye) with high affinity for acidic tissue components, staining nuclei blue and polysaccharides purple. Toluidine Blue purity 36% shows heterostaining properties for mast cells, mucins and chondrocytes. Toluidine Blue purity 36% can stain different components of plant tissues and cells in different colours. Toluidine Blue purity 36% is also used as a diagnostic aid to identify malignant lesions, such as cancer.

Direct Violet 1, an azo dye, is a textile dye. Direct Violet 1 is also the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and ACE2 inhibitor with IC₅₀s of 1.47-2.63 μM.

Phenosafranine is a phenazine dye. Phenosafranine exhibits higher binding affinity for triple-stranded RNA than for double-stranded RNA, and binds to both types of RNA via intercalation. Phenosafranine interacts with hemoglobin. Phenosafranine can be used for plant cell staining, as well as the detection of hemoglobin, dopamine, serotonin, etc.

RuBP-4S is a luminescent ruthenium complex.

Chlorophenol Red sodium is a pH indicator.
