Nile Blue Chloride presents itself as a powder with a dark brownish, greenish, or bluish black hue. Its chemical composition is C20H20ClN3O. This particular type of Nile Blue dye contains the chloride ion as its counterion. Originating from coal tar, it is a man-made dye. The chloride ion serves as the counterion to neutralize the positive charge of the dye molecule. Its versatility allows for various uses, spanning from microscopy to cosmetic products.

TriStains provides a marketplace for histology and biological stains, which is comprehensive enough to encompass the peculiar requirements of laboratories specializing in Histology, Cytology, Microbiology, and Hematology. With a reputation for exceeding quality expectations, TriStains performance is outstanding which allows for resolution of cell and tissue components fundamental to life sciences to be clearly visualized. Each product under TriStains series is validated for accuracy, reliability and consistency. TriStains, which manufactures and markets stains and indicators in various packing, offers laboratories turn key solutions for all their staining and indicator needs, improving accuracy in every experiment.

Application :

Nile red is used to localize and quantitate lipids, particularly neutral lipid droplets within cells.
It has applications in cell biology, where it can be used as a membrane dye which can be readily visualized using an epifluorescence microscope with excitation and emission wavelengths usually shared with red fluorescent protein.

Benefits :

Exhibits a strong fluorescence signal when in a hydrophobic environment
Versatile and cost-effective

Nile Red is an uncharged, hydrophobic, photostable molecule that strongly fluoresces bright red in hydrophobic environments. Nile Red is a lipophilic stain commonly used for the detection of intracellular lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry. Nile Red has been shown to detect the exposure or formation of new hydrophobic surfaces induced by ligand binding to calmodulin, oligomerization of melittin, or unfolding of ovalbumin during early thermal denaturation. Nile Red has been employed to stain cell structures, as well as to visualize and localize colloidal drug carriers. Nile Red s fluorescence is unaffected between pH 4.5 and 8.5 and may be used in dilute concentrations to investigate hydrophobic protein sites.
