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.

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
