General description

Basic blue 3 (BB3) can be removed from aqueous solutions with the help of activated carbon prepared from rubber seed coat.
Basic blue 3 (C.I. 51104) is a cationic dye. It is generally positively charged in an aqueous solution.

Application

Basic blue 3 has a brilliant blue shade and thus has been used as a colorant in dyeing acrylic fabrics.

In a smart solution-processable luminescent poly(norbornene)/oxazine-1 (Ox1) intercalated fluoromica nanohybrid, the supramolecular organization of the Ox1 dyes can be tuned at the nanoscale level and a deep red emission band switched on by inducing a phase segregation of aligned molecules

It has been established by combined absorption and fluorescence measurements that the cationic dye Oxazine 1 (OX) and the polyvalent anionic host calix[8]arenesulfonate (SCA8) form two complexes in simultaneous reactions: OX + SCA8 <--> OX.SCA8 (1), and OX.SCA8 + OX

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of a laser dye, oxazine-1 (OX1), in liquid and liquid crystalline media were studied at room temperature. The solvatochromic method was used to determine the ground- and excited-state dipole moments by means of Lippert-Mataga, Bakshiev

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 73(2), 324-329 (2009-03-28)
The spectroscopic features of a laser dye, oxazine 1 (OX1), were investigated in liquid and in liquid crystalline solutions as a function of the solvent polarity and polarizability. The nature of spectral shift was investigated by studying the absorption spectra

The addition of RNA content estimation to flow cytometric measurement of DNA content provides valuable information concerning cells' transitions between quiescent and proliferative states. Equilibrium staining methods employing acridine orange have been used for DNA/RNA content measurement but are difficult
