Auramine O certified is a fine yellow crystalline powder. Its chemical formula is C17H21N3 · HCl. Auramine O is also known as Basic yellow 2, 4,4′-(Imidocarbonyl)bis(N,N-dimethylaniline) monohydrochloride and Pyocatanium aureum. It is a diarylmethane dye. It is soluble in water and ethanol. In biology, Auramine O is used in combination with Rhodamine B as auramine-rhodamine stain to stain acid-fast organisms, e.g. Mycobacterium, where it forms a complex with the mycolic acid found in its cell wall. It is commonly used as a fluorescent stain in microbiology, specifically in the acid-fast staining technique. The acid-fast staining method is employed to differentiate acid-fast bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the causative agent of tuberculosis), from non-acid-fast bacteria. Auramine O is preferred in acid-fast staining because it has fluorescence properties, making it easier to detect under a fluorescence microscope. This dye binds to the mycolic acid present in the cell walls of acid-fast bacteria, resulting in bright yellow-green fluorescence when illuminated with appropriate light.
When a dye is referred to as “certified,” it typically means that the product meets certain quality standards or specifications outlined by regulatory bodies or industry organizations. Certified dyes are often tested and validated for specific applications to ensure consistent and reliable performance.
