General description

Malachite Green chloride (MG), a neat reference standard, is provided for the analyte detection, food color quality, and safety control of your products! Malachite Green is a low-cost, highly efficient, cationic[1] triphenylmethane dye with high efficacy for treating fungal, bacterial, and parasitic infections.[2][2][1] MG is also employed in paper, textile, acrylic industries, and as an anthelmintic agent, food and color additive, medical disinfectant, etc.[3]
Malachite green chloride is a triphenylmethane dye, which generally can find applications in aquaculture and highly effective against fungal infections.[4]

Application

Malachite Green chloride may be used as an analytical standard to investigate its carcinogenic nature in the animal matrix. The techniques, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatography (GC) are used to confirm the identity of the material and to determine the purity of malachite green chloride.[5]
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
