Descrição geral

O azul de metileno é um composto que ocorre na forma de cristais ou pó cristalino, com um brilho semelhante ao bronze. Ele é solúvel em água, clorofórmio e parcialmente solúvel em álcool.[1] É um corante fotoativo, que é um membro da família das fenotiazinas.[2]

Aplicação

O azul de metileno foi usado:
  • para corar células vaginais[3]
  • para o preparo de tinta aquosa proteica[4]
  • para avaliar a sobrevivência de células por coloração[5]

Ações bioquímicas/fisiológicas

O azul de metileno é usado como corante para bacteriologia ou corante e indicador.[6] Ele media a inativação de vírus envelopados no plasma, quando expostos à luz visível.[2] Ele é um inibidor de óxido nítrico sintase e guanilato ciclase.[7] Ele também tem um papel importante na medicina como agente antimalárico, agente redutor em metemoglobinemia e indutor de apoptose em células cancerosas.[7]

Adequação

Certificado para uso em corante floxina-azul de metileno de Mallory; corante de Levine e Black para bactérias no leite; corante de Wright para esfregaços de sangue.

Questions

1–9 of 9 Questions  
  1. Is this ingredient suitable for use as a redox indicator? What is the main difference compered to that used as an indicator?

    1 answer
    1. Yes, in addition to biological stain applications, Methylene Blue is also commonly used as a redox indicator. Oxidized solutions will appear blue in color and will turn colorless when mixed with a reducing agent. A reduced or clear solution will turn blue when exposed to an oxidizing agent. Methylene blue is considered a basic dye, but not commonly used as an pH indicator. Methyl Blue, which is a chemically different compound, is more commonly used as a pH indicator.

  2. Which is the granulometry of this powder?

    1 answer
    1. The quality control testing only requires that the methylene blue powder appear as a powder. There is no requirement to define the powder as either coarse, medium or fine powder.

      Helpful?

  3. Is there any information available on ammonium molybdate's role in fixing methylene blue dye?

    1 answer
    1. There is no information available regarding the use of ammonium molybdate for mixing methylene blue staining.

      Helpful?

  4. Is there any testing conducted for lead and other heavy metals in any of the available methylene blue products?

    1 answer
    1. Medicinal grade and food grade dyes are likely to undergo testing for lead and other heavy metals. It is unlikely that Methylene Blue is offered as a food grade dye. M9140 is not subjected to testing for lead and other heavy metals because it is not intended for human or veterinary use.

  5. Are various powdered methylene blues suitable for marking brain regions in live mice? There are issues visualizing it after staining, suspected due to outdated methylene blue. Assistance is required in choosing the right type for preparation for identifying specific brain regions.

    1 answer
    1. There is no mention of which methylene blue has been problematic. Biological dyes usually lack expiration dates. The recommended catalog number is M9140, which is certified by the Biological Stain Commission (BSC) for staining nuclei blue using paraffin sections and for staining bacteria in milk. Other applications of Methylene Blue include staining white blood cells in Wright Stain, oversight staining, supra vital staining, and staining nerves, nerve fibers, neuronal processes, live non-neuronal cells, tumors, and as a surgical marker.Fresh and aged dyes can yield different reactions. Effective solutions may need fresh preparation. Some dyes have set expiration dates due to deterioration. While using two blue dyes is unusual; thionin is commonly used for Nissl staining.

  6. How can Methylene blue, Product M9140, be used?

    1 answer
    1. Probably its most important application is as an in vitro diagnostic bacteriology, cytology, hematology, and histology stain. Methylene Blue serves as a precursor to the Methylene Azures and as a component of the various Ramanowsky-type blood stains (Wright, Leishman, Giemsa and others). While pure Methylene Blue is not a good nuclear stain, it readily undergoes oxidative demethylation to form the various Methylene Azures, which are good nuclear stains.

  8. What is the solubility of Methylene blue, Product M9140?

    1 answer
    1. The product is soluble in water at 50 mg/mL, EGME at 60 mg/mL and ethanol at 70 mg/mL. EGME is an abbreviation for ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, also known as 2-methoxyethanol or methyl cellosolve.

      Helpful?

  9. How is dye content determined for Methylene blue, Product M9140?

    1 answer
    1. Dye content is determined spectrophotometrically by noting the dye's absorbance peak, which is typically near 665 nm, or by calculating the ratio of the absorbances at 650 nm over 680 nm. (The dye exhibits smaller peaks at approximately 292 and 246 nm).
