CI 50206 Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

dark green crystalline powder

Uses

Methylene Violet 3RAX is used in preparation of methylene violet derivatives as fluorescent probes for sulfide ion detection.

Uses

Methylene Violet 3RAX has been used as a reagent in a preparation of citrate methylene violet, which is used for staining yeast cells. It is also used as an internal standard in tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the quantification of methylene blue in blood samples.

General Description

Methylene violet 3RAX [MV3RAX, 3-amino-7-(diethylamino)-5-phenyl phenazinium chloride] is a phenazinium dye and is cationic in nature. It has several applications in staining chemistry. Methylene violet 3RAX dye has an antimalarial property. It is used as a probe for investigating guest–host interactions in dendrimers and this may have relevance in drug–DNA interactions.
