Product Data Sheet
Diphenyl Blue
Catalog No. A24895
Diphenyl Blue, also known as Trypan Blue, is a vital reference dye primarily used to assess cell membrane integrity and viability. It selectively stains dead or damaged cells blue, allowing for the identification of non-viable cells in various tissue and cell culture applications. Viable cells with intact membranes exclude the dye, while macrophages can phagocytize Diphenyl Blue, making it an effective living stain for studying these immune cells. This dye is essential for research involving cell viability assays and tissue analyses.
