Application

In living mice, acriflavine hydrochloride has been used in the confocal laser endomicroscopy to check the crypt structure in mucosa.[1] It has also been used in Neurospora strain selection by checking the acriflavine resistance.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acriflavine hydrochloride is a fluorescent dye. It is used as a topical contrast agent. It mainly stains nuclei and is applied to tissues before microscopy.[3]
