Trypan Blue is a black solid powder that is used in laboratories and research. It is also called Direct Blue 14 or Niagara Blue 3B with a molecular formula of C34H24N6O14S4•4Na. Trypan Blue is a crucial stain that specifically stains the dead cells, hence it is an important reagent in cell viability tests. Its chemical stability, ease of use, and accuracy have seen it be a choice dye in biological studies, cell biology and histology studies.

Applications

  • Applied in cell culture laboratories to distinguish between dead and live cells to make proper viability determinations.
  • Is a critical tissue and cell stain to be examined by the microscope.
  • Used in microbiology to determine the viability of bacteria and fungi.

Key features

  • Selective Cell Staining: Stains dead cells while leaving viable cells unstained, ensuring accurate experimental outcomes.
  • Consistent and Reliable: Gives repeatable findings in experiments, biological, histological and microbiological.
  • Flexible and Cost-Effective: Capable of use in various staining processes, can be used in cell culture, microbiology, and histology.

General Description

Trypan blue (CAS: 72-57-1) is a reliable live cell stain in cell laboratories, and allows the practical differentiation of viable and non-viable cells. It is the best choice as a reagent in routine cell biology, microbiology and histology assays due to its chemical stability, solubility, and selective staining characteristics.

Trypan Blue is an azo based, hydrophilic, tetrasulfonated blue acid dye widely utilized for assessing cell viability. As an easy method to determining the viability of cells, Trypan Blue will stain dead cells with permeable membranes blue, while the dye is excluded by most living cells and their intact membranes thereby allowing visual determination of living versus dead cells. Although Trypan Blue is predominately used for assessing cell viability of cultured cells, other applications for this dye have been reported. In rat abdominal organ slices Trypan Blue has been utilized to determine cell viability as well as islet cell cluster cell viability from caprine pancreatic samples.
