Beschreibung

General description

Methylene blue is a heterocyclic aromatic chemical, appearing as a dark green solid powder, changing to blue in aqueous solution. It is used as a stain in many different histology procedures, as well as in molecular biology laboratories.

Application

Methylene Blue hydrate is suitable for use as a nucleic acid stain for agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). It was used to stain 4T1 tumor cells to study metastasis of tumor cells using clonogenic assay.[1] Methylene blue hydrate crystals were encapsulated in apoferritin nanocages for photodynamic therapy against tumor cells.[2]

Features and Benefits

• Less hazardous than staining with ethidium bromide
• Viewable in visible light
• Fast and easy to use
